I don't get why this bill is a thing. It's like, why do we need a whole month for this? It's not like it affects me personally. Who even benefits from this?

I don't agree with this bill supporting National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It's a waste of time and money. Why should we have a whole month dedicated to this issue? Who does it really help?
