The Crime Victims Fund is dangerously low, putting lifesaving victim services at risk nationwide. @LeaderJohnThune, @SenSchumer, @ChuckGrassley, @SenatorDurbin, @alex padilla, and @senadamschiff must act now to pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (#CVFSA)!
![CALL 202-224-3121 AND ASK TO BE CONNECTED TO YOUR SENATOR'S OFFICE. TELL THEM: "Hello, I'm a constituent from [city, state]. I'm calling to urge [Senator's Name] to follow the House's lead and pass this bipartisan Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act. The Crime Victims Fund provides critical funding for services supporting more than six million crime victims each year, including survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. With deposits into the Fund declining, victim service programs are facing significant funding cuts that put critical services at risk. The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act offers a bipartisan, common-sense solution using non-taxpayer dollars. I urge [Senator's Name] to support and pass this legislation as soon as possible. Thank you."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h527qqmwxudbfb2xwit36yfj/bafkreiewmx34vtrjzmoo2scvlskhgnv3ecuve7nscyyn65fcng7u7lstd4)

Violence doesn't discriminate. The life-saving programs survivors depend on shouldn't either. OMB's proposed rule will allow fed agencies the ability to determine fed funding awards based on ideology, not community needs or congressional allocations.
VALOR believes that leading with prevention also includes preventing the recurrence of harm through accountability. What's happening in Maine is setting the path for normalizing accountability from our elected representatives and government officials, culture, and ourselves.
Today, SCOTUS confirmed that the US Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship, preserving a critical safety net for survivors and their families across the nation as they work towards stability after harm. Check out Tahirih Justice Center's statement to learn more 🔗 https://loom.ly/62Qcrik
Good news! All of our powerful advocacy, from calling, writing, and advocating for survivors to get the services they need and deserve, was successful!
