A domestic violence service provider in LA tells me a victim has gone missing and is “likely back with her abuser” because she was afraid to go to court to get a restraining order Monday with ICE staking out courthouses. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

LA's domestic violence service providers talk to @juliannemcshane.bsky.social about ICE's chilling effect on their organizations and the undocumented survivors they serve. “She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters

These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

NEW @motherjones.com: Spoke to 6 domestic violence shelters/orgs in LA about the chilling effects of ICE: They’re closing their doors & survivors are afraid to seek help. “DV programs should be safe sanctuaries & we can’t even guarantee that anymore,” one said. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🎉Victory! @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social and #CALeg included $100M for victim services in California's final budget negotiations www.cpedv.org/press-releas...

California Governor and Legislature ensure that services for crime survivors remain intact - California Partnership to End Domestic Violence

A critical $100M will provide a lifeline to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and human trafficking for another year.

Tell @CAgovernor to approve $100 million in funding to support survivors. We had some of our advocates explain the consequences if survivor services aren't funded: 🧵 1/10

We call on @governor.ca.gov to approve the $100 million proposed by the Assembly and Senate to maintain funding for victims’ services this year. We are grateful to the Legislature, especially our champions Senator Reyes and @asmpilarschiavo.bsky.social, for prioritizing this critical funding.

Joint Legislative Budget Plan protects sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and child abuse programs for another year - California Partnership to End Domestic Violence

Thousands of advocates urge Governor Newsom to adopt the legislature’s plan and save survivors’ lives

Domestic violence & sexual assault programs in CA rely on federal funding for staffing, services, & prevention. Recent federal grant terminations threaten domestic violence programs & victims’ lives. Congress must reinstate and protect our funding! #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

When federal funds force domestic & sexual violence programs to close, victims often have no choice but to stay with abusers, risking further violence against themselves and their children. This is unacceptable. Congress must support + protect essential funding. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

🗓️ SAVE THE DATE! June 5 is our national #DayOfAction to demand federal funding for sexual assault and domestic violence services. Lives are on the line. Programs are closing. Congress must act. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims #SavetheDate

"Without [VOCA funding], domestic violence victims in our community will end up staying in dangerous relationships, leaving without the needed support, which can put them in even more danger, or getting out and not having the resources they need to rebuild their lives."

🚨 @governor.ca.gov is ignoring the calls of survivors in his May revised budget. CA cannot build its budget on the backs of victims of crime.

Thank you, #CARepYoungKim, for co-leading a letter urging the #DOJ to restore Office on Violence Against Women #OVW grants. We agree: survivors of sexual & domestic violence need safety & support. This funding is crucial to preserving lifesaving services. www.ocregister.com/2025/04/25/r...

Rep. Young Kim asks the Justice Department to restore domestic violence survivor funding
