Call Your Member of Congress to Support Increased Funding for Domestic Violence Services
Congress needs to hear our voices about services for victims of domestic
violence!
During the economic downturn many domestic violence programs
are struggling to meet the increased demand for life-saving services as their
budgets are shrinking. The reauthorization of the Family Violence
Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) offers
victims hope and it will allow programs to continue to save lives and end the
horrific cycle of violence. FVPSA is needed now more than ever!
Reauthorizing FVPSA will:
- Allow communities to continue
to provide life-saving services to victims of domestic violence and their
children including emergency shelters, crisis lines, counseling and
advocacy;
- Help to meet the needs of
underserved communities; and
- Help break the cycle of
violence.
Call Today!
Call your Representative today and let her/him know the
importance of FVPSA's swift reauthorization. When victims who face
life-threatening abuse reach out for help, we must make sure they can receive
the support they need to be safe and secure.
