Minnesotans have been under a stay-at-home order for seven weeks in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

But what happens when staying at home is unsafe?

Across the country, cities are reporting an increase in domestic violence calls. And for many people who live with their abuser, this order has been a nightmare.

Guests:

  • Stephanie Revering is the chief of the Crystal Police Department.

  • Pamela Maldonado is the victim advocacy program manager at Cornerstone, and former member of the planning committee to create Minnesota's first Victim Assistance Academy.
