📢 Action Alert! In the fiscal year 2024, The Victims of Crime Act (#VOCA) faced a drastic 30% funding reduction, causing many victim service programs such as domestic violence agencies, child advocacy centers, and rape crisis centers to reduce or eliminate services, lay off employees, and in some cases, close their doors entirely. Lawmakers MUST act now to ensure crime victims receive life-saving services. Please join us in urging your members of Congress to co-sponsor and pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization! 📝 Write your representatives now: https://bit.ly/3Y8jeIk

Between October and December 2023, we conducted a survey, in partnership with @ifwhenhow, to learn more about survivor experiences of reproductive coercion and abuse. So many survivors bravely shared their stories and they serve as a call to action to protect victims and survivors’ rights to control their own bodies and live free from violence. We've created a social media toolkit for our latest report on Reproductive Coercion and Abuse. This toolkit is designed to help you spread awareness. You can download the toolkit and help amplify this important message! 📩 https://bit.ly/3XxPzUY #EndReproductiveCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #EndAbuse #SupportSurvivors #DVAwareness #TheHotline
