DA Murray teams up with star Jana Kramer for domestic violence PSA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Mecklenburg County District Attorney Andrew Murray collaborated with country music star and actress Jana Kramer, a domestic violence survivor, to create a public service announcement that will air on Beasley Media Group’s six local radio stations this month.

In the public service announcement, District Attorney Murray calls attention to the epidemic of domestic violence across the country and in Mecklenburg County.

“It affects all people – rich and poor, males and females of all ages, races and sexual orientations,” District Attorney Murray says in the public service announcement. “It’s bound to affect someone you know – even music stars like Jana Kramer.”

After years of keeping silent about the abuse she suffered at the hands of an ex-husband, Ms. Kramer has recently publicly discussed her experience with domestic violence and says she is lucky to be alive.

“Not only can we survive but we can also thrive,” Ms. Kramer tells the community in the public service announcement. “If it can happen to me, it can happen to someone you love or anyone that you know. Please stand with us, and let’s be their hope.”

Since 2014, the District Attorney’s Office has partnered with Beasley Media Group to create a series of public service announcements for the “Be Their Hope” campaign. The latest public service announcement will air through the end of March on 95.1 WNKSFM, 103.7 WSOC -FM, 97.9 WPEG-FM, 101.9 WBAV-FM, 1660 WBCN-AM and 104.7 WKQC-FM.

District Attorney Andrew Murray encourages the community to call police, come to court and take a stand if they see abuse. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please contact Mecklenburg County’s Prevention and Intervention Services or reach out to Safe Alliance for support, shelter and information.
