🚨 Tell Congress to #FundSafetyNow!

Federal funding is vital for survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault and the programs that support them. Survivors need access to services and affordable health care.

Use the sample call script to take action and call 202-224-3121 NOW!

#SupportSurvivors
Tell Congress to #FundSafetyNow. Federal funding is vital for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and the programs that support them. Survivors need access to services and affordable health care Sample call script reading: "Call 202-224-3121 and tell your Member of Congress: “Hello, my name is [name] and I live in [city, state/territory]. [If you work for a local/state program, make sure to mention that.] I’m calling to urge Congress and the Administration to find a bipartisan solution to reopen the federal government that protects funding for survivor services and prevention, ensures survivors have access to affordable health care, and protects the appropriations authority of Congress so that funding isn’t impacted by rescissions. Rape crisis centers and domestic violence shelters depend on federal funding to keep their doors open and provide lifesaving services to survivors. Survivors need access to both services and health care to heal and find safety. Please protect federal funding for domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and services and keep health care affordable and accessible. Thank you for supporting survivors.”

🚨 New Mexico - the Government shutdown is upon us.

Funding delays can have devastating impacts on survivors. Local programs are reliant on federal funding and have minimal cash reserves. Even a few weeks of a funding delay equals reduced services, layoffs, and eventually program closures.

In light of ongoing news about sexual violence, it's incredibly important to keep the stories & wisdom of survivors as the focus.

This isn't just a moment, but a movement for healing & justice.
A quote by Jess Michaels "We will not stop until survivors voices shape justice, transform culture, and define the future."

Recently a NM State Senator referenced a finding from our NM Crime Victimization Report

We welcome the use of this data in policy making, but the stat was used to implied trans women pose a danger to cis women which is harmful, untrue, & not supported by the report.

Here's our full statement 🧵1/6
Statement reading "Data Should be Used to Bolster Prevention not Politicize Survivors & Attack Transgender Communities."

When victims make the choice to reach out for help, programs MUST have funding and resources to answer that call. Victims can’t survive further federal funding cuts.

🚨 Over 625 local, state, & national orgs have raised their voices in a letter to AG Bondi, urging action to protect fed funding for victim services

Delays, proposed cuts, and consolidation to the Office on Violence Against Women threaten shelters, rape crisis centers, & other vital services!
Graphic is an Action Alert Update on a red background and reads "More than 625 local, state, and national organizations have raised their voices in a letter to Attorney General Bondi, urging action to protect federal funding for victims services. Delays in funding & plans to consolidate the Office on Violence Against Women mean that shelters, rape crisis centers, and victim services are at risk. Survivors of sexual and domestic violence deserve better. The DOJ must fully fund and protect OVW. Lives depend on it. Read full letter linked in bio."
