The Scarlet Letters
“Why dost thou smile so at me?” inquired Hester, troubled at the expression of his eyes. “Art thou like the Black Man that haunts the forest round about us? Hast thou enticed me into a bond that will prove the ruin of my soul?”
--- Hester Prynne, The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne
Since 1977 Safe Passage has served survivors of domestic violence, their children, friends, and families.
Safe Passage offers survivors of all types of domestic violence hope, along with support, as both are essential in the journey from violence to safety. Its counseling, advocacy, shelter, support groups, and community education help build safe avenues toward safety and healing.
We run as The Scarlet Letters in support of Safe Passage and in support of all women and men who have had to face abuse of any kind.
