Dile al Congreso #FundSafetyNow. El financiamiento federal es vital para l@s sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica y sexual y para los programas que l@s apoyan. L@s sobrevivientes necesitan acceso a servicios y a atención médica asequible. Llama al 202-224-3121 y dile al Congreso: Hola, mi nombre es [nombre] y vivo en [ciudad, estado/territorio]. [Si trabajas para un programa local o estatal, asegúrese de mencionarlo.] Hago un llamado para urgir al Congreso y a la Administración a que encuentren una solución bipartidista para reabrir el gobierno federal que proteje los fondos destinados a los servicios y la prevención para sobrevivientes, garanticen que sobrevivientes tengan acceso a atención médica asequible, y preserven la autoridad del Congreso sobre las asignaciones presupuestarias para que los fondos no sean afectados por recortes. Los centros de crisis de violación y los refugios de violencia doméstica dependen de fondos federales para mantener sus puertas abiertas y ofrecer servicios que salvan vidas. Los sobrevivientes necesitan acceso a servicios y atención médica para sanar y encontrar seguridad. Por favor, protejan los fondos federales destinados a la prevención y los servicios de violencia doméstica y agresión sexual, y mantengan la atención médica asequible y accesible. Gracias por apoyar a sobrevivientes.

🚨 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!

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."

The programs will use these funds to administer violence prevention programs, focusing on a public health approach to preventing harmful behavior!

We are grateful to the NM State Legislature, NM Department of Health, and everyone who makes this work possible ❤️

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."
