Jones partnered with an Austin organization called Expect Respect for the event. They have educated students about dating violence in the Austin area sine 1988 Randy Randoff will speak at the event.

“Randy has been working with Expect Respect for 19 years,” Jones said. “She has worked in schools and she is a councilor. She typically works with women who are dealing with dating trauma. She is a wonderful women, she’s awesome.”

“I’m just so exited that we are able to talk about it,” Jones said. “How can students feel safe at school if we don’t talk about it? I think I will feel like I have made an impact after it’s done and that is what I want.”
