Note time change: Sexual Violence in the community is First Thursday topic for March

According to a new national survey by the Centers for Disease Control, nearly half of Minnesota women experience some kind of sexual abuse.

Join WTIP’s Jay Andersen at 5 p.m. on March 1 for “Intimate Abuse: a closer look at sexual violence in Minnesota and Cook County” -- this month’s First Thursday Community Conversation.

Because of a change in time for the Cook County girl’s basketball tournament game, First Thursday will be broadcast live from 5 to 6 p.m., March 1, followed by the game at 6:30.

Each month we choose a topic for discussion, invite guests into the studio and invite you to join in the conversation. The number to call is 387-1070 or 800-473-9847. Our email address is [email protected].

This month studio guests include Jodi Yuhasey from the Violence Prevention Center, Cook County Sheriff Mark Falk, First Congregational UCC pastor EvaLyn Carlson and Molly Hicken, Assistant Cook County Attorney.
