1 in 3 New Yorkers identifies as a survivor of violence. That reality must inform how we govern, how we respond, and how we care for one another.

New York's current funding system to providers is denying shelter to single adult survivors, including LGBTQ+ survivors, trafficking survivors, and older adults.

We call on USCIS to swiftly increase T visa approvals and prioritize protection for trafficking survivors. Every approval is a step toward a safer life.
Every trafficking survivor deserves a path to safety, and immigration status is a crucial part. But USCIS data shows T visa denials are sadly on the rise in FY2025, outpacing approvals for those who need a lifeline most.

For survivors, the decision to leave is rarely simple. It’s often complicated by financial dependence, fear of retaliation, housing instability, and the emotional bonds of a relationship. True support means understanding these barriers and providing resources without judgement.
