ID LAUNCHES INAUGURAL NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE CAMPAIGN IN HONOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

– ID Partners With One Love Foundation and NO MORE to Help Viewers Identify Abuse and Equip Them With Resources –

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- America's leading true crime channel, Investigation Discovery, launches its inaugural campaign to shed light on, and bring awareness to, domestic violence with the NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE campaign, launching October 1 in conjunction with Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Through its partnerships with One Love Foundation and NO MORE, ID will present on-air resources, PSAs and tools to ensure viewers are equipped to identify the various forms of domestic violence. 

Additionally, ID will be activating its audience by encouraging viewers to make donations to its nonprofit partners by texting "NoExcuse" to 707070, engaging on social media using #NoExcuseForAbuse and visiting the newly created website NoExcuseForAbuse.com. Along with sharing important information across social and digital all month, ID will also expand its long-standing commitment to educating viewers about the complex dynamics of domestic violence through various programs that shine a light on the sometimes devastating effects that relationship, financial and emotional abuse can have on people's lives.

"For the first time, this October ID is amplifying awareness around domestic violence with our NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE campaign. In conjunction with Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are shining a light on this crucial issue through programming initiatives, digital/social campaigns and on-air PSAs," said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime & Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming. "Domestic violence does not discriminate against race, gender, economic status, sexual orientation or age and it can occur in many forms, some more recognizable than others. Here at ID, we are committed to using our platform to empower victims to identify abusive situations, find resources and safely exit if they choose, support survivors to help them thrive and educate people on how to prevent unhealthy relationships for themselves and their loved ones."
