#NationalSurvivorsVoteDay is a moment to remind our communities that civic engagement is part of survivor justice. From local elections to national policy, survivors deserve to have their voices heard in every space where decisions are made.
Our voices matter. Our votes matter.

Graphic with numerous purple, navy, and yellow circle stickers overlapping. Text on the stickers reads, "VOTE. Survivors VOTE."

Calling Congressional offices can be intimidating, but with the ongoing government shutdown, your representatives need to hear from you now more than ever. Do farm chores with Ashleigh as you learn about how to contact your Congressperson.

Today, October 8, is #LatinaEqualPay Day. The pay gap harms Latinas, our families, our futures, and our entire country. We can’t wait to be paid equally, and we shouldn’t have to. #Trabajadoras

Contact your legislators through the Capitol switchboard to demand that #HHS reinstates the #CDC Division of Violence Prevention Program Branch!
Blue and purple gradient background with black and white text that reads, "Call and email your Senators and Representatives as well as your best staff contacts with this message today: Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121. HHS must reinstate the Division of Violence Prevention Program Branch at the CDC to ensure critical sexual assault and domestic violence prevention work can continue. HHS must also reinstate the Director of the Office on Family Violence Prevention and Services to ensure continued essential leadership functions of this program. Our communities depend on OFVPS and the CDC Division of Violence Prevention to support our lifesaving work to provide services to victims and prevent violence in our communities. These programs save lives, but they also save money. Cutting these important programs will lead to greater inefficiency."
