In Response to a Recent Article About Hakeem Brown
Fairfield, CA – October 14, 2020 – “The Solano County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) does not condone any form of violence or abuse being perpetrated on one person by another,” said Marjorie Olson, SCDCC Chair said in reference to the Open Vallejo story that broke overnight about Vallejo Mayoral Candidate, Hakeem Brown’s instances of violence towards women. “The revelation of this has taken us all aback and we are now working with the state party on what the next steps might be.”
Domestic violence/abuse is a tragic reality that many people face in the home and in an intimate relationship that is supposed to be loving. On average, more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the US will experience rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner.
If you are suffering from any form of this, the SCDCC urges you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1.800.799.SAFE (7233). You can also find confidential resources online at https://www.thehotline.org/.
SCDCC will be keeping the Vallejo and Solano County community informed.
