The Family of Michelle Avan hosts the 1st Annual Michelle Movement Walk in Your Light 5K Walk/Run: Shining a light on the tragedy of Intimate Partner Violence, as we Celebrate its Survivors
On the morning of August 5, 2021, the body of Michelle Avan was found in her home by her son brutally beaten to death. What Trevon and Nyah Avan, would soon come to know is their mother died at the hands of an intimate partner. The family of Michelle Avan will host the 1st Annual Michelle Movement Walk in Your Light 5K Walk/Run to honor her legacy and shine a light on Intimate Partner Homicide. In addition, the Michelle Movement is increasing public awareness of District Attorney George Gascóns blanket policies that undermine the ability of the DA’s office to prosecute perpetrators of Intimate Partner Homicide to the full extent of the law.
