It’s Time” is a campaign against domestic violence launched by the city of Lexington. In this edition, we learn how to respond when we learn that a friend or a loved one is experiencing physical abuse or coercive control. And we hear of ways various communities, from religious to business and sports, can play roles in combatting intimate partner abuse and supporting employees who are experiencing abuse. In the hour, we also hear how a more open discussion about mental health has emerged from the pandemic. And we explore the real-time data of the Lexington-based Gun Violence Archive.

Tom Martin hosts Eastern Standard, a weekly radio magazine of interviews and stories about interesting people, places, and things happening in the Commonwealth.
