This PSA was created by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) CREATE! and Domestic Violence Prention Program (DVPP). It was conceived, written and acted by students from Belmont and Miguel Contreras High School in Los Angeles California.
The DVPP is the MALDEF component to the Los Angeles Domestic Violence Collaborative in partnership with the Asian Pacific American Legal Center and the Los Angeles Urban League. This initiative was possible thanks to a generous sponsorship by VERIZON.
