Editorial: Rahm Emanuel calls on men to be part of the solution on domestic violence

Rahm Emanuel was our mayor. He was the U.S. ambassador to Japan. He’s a possible presidential candidate. He’s also a domestic violence advocate.

Emanuel has co-founded the WINGS Men’s Alliance to End Domestic Violence alongside attorney John Sciaccotta, and the group’s mission is to mobilize men as allies, advocates and leaders to help end domestic violence by promoting accountability, compassion and respect in all relationships. “It’s time for every brother, son, uncle, and father to take responsibility for ending violence in our homes and communities,” Emanuel posted on X last Friday.

We applaud this initiative, which welcomes men into a conversation that focuses primarily on female victims. In doing so, Emanuel acknowledges that addressing domestic violence will take whole families. T
