A "Stop Violence Against Women" rally was held at 14th and U Streets, N.W. It was in support of Patricia Scales, 45, who had recently been set on fire by her boyfriend, Terrance James. Protestors held signs that read, "No Mo Violence 2007" and "Violence Against Women is a Crime Against Humanity."
A female community activist said, "We came out to talk about what are we going to do to stop violence against women in particular and violence in general. As you all know we have seen in the past few months women hit, burned by someone who was supposed to love them. We have to say this must end. We have to say this must stop."
"We must make the courts respect us. Respect women. We must say to people we know who perpetuate violence that we are not going to talk to you any more. We are not going to be your friend anymore. You are going to have to leave our community."
