June is Pride Month. We celebrate the strength, joy, and history of LGBTQIA+ communities and survivors in New Mexico and beyond

Sexual violence affects LGBTQIA+ people at disproportionate rates. Inclusive, culturally responsive care is not optional — it is essential.

We remain committed to ensuring every person has access to safe, affirming, and survivor-centered services, no matter who they are or who they love.

Image Description: Large bold text reads "PRIDE" in rainbow colors and "MONTH" in black. Below, body text reads: "Celebrating the strength, joy, and history of LGBTQIA+ communities and survivors in New Mexico and beyond." over a cream background and a rainbow stripe across the top. The NMCSAP logo is in the bottom left corner.

Another critical resource for survivors is expanding in New Mexico.

Arise SAS has opened a new location in Clovis, increasing access to support for survivors and their families across eastern New Mexico. This expansion means more people can receive the care, advocacy, and services they need closer to home and when it matters most.

We’re grateful to the Arise team and executive director Sarah Long for continuing to show up for their communities and for creating spaces where survivors are seen, supported, and surrounded by care.

Help is available 24/7:
For those in the Clovis and Portales area, reach Arise Sexual Assault Services at: (575) 226-7263
For those across New Mexico, contact the NM Sexual Assault Helpline at: 1-844-667-2457 or www.nmsahelp.org

Funding survivor housing services isn’t a choice. It’s a critical lifeline. We're grateful to Albuquerque City Councilor Nichole Rogers for introducing an amendment to the City Budget to restore $586,000 in funding for housing for survivors to Enlace Comunitario.

Agradecemos a la Concejal de Albuquerque, Nichole Rogers, por presentar una enmienda para restablecer a Enlace Comunitario los $586,000 en fondos para vivienda destinados a sobrevivientes.

Asking for help is not weakness. Talking about what you're going through is not weakness. Real friendships and relationships are built on honesty and that takes courage. It might not always be easy but it’s worth it. It starts with us.

Pedir ayuda no es una señal de debilidad. Hablar de lo que estás viviendo no significa ser débil. Las amistades y las relaciones de pareja verdaderas se basan en la honestidad, y eso requiere valor. Puede que no siempre sea fácil, pero vale la pena. Todo empieza por nosotros.

Image description: Photograph of two teenage boys sitting together on outdoor bleachers, engaged in conversation. The overlaid text reads: "IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE HONEST ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL." The website ItStartsWithUsNM.org and the hashtag appear at the top.

En la parte superior de la imagen aparecen el sitio web y el hashtag de «It Starts With Us NM».

When federal funding is delayed, programs don't have the luxury of waiting. Most survivor services operate with limited reserves, which means a funding delay functions as a funding cut.

Here in New Mexico, programs providing crisis response, emergency shelter, legal advocacy, and support to survivors depend on federal grants to keep their doors open. Staffing reductions, waitlists, and service gaps are not hypothetical, they are what delayed funding produces.

Here's how you can help: Call 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to the office of Sen. Martin Heinrich, Sen. Ben Ray Luján, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Rep. Gabe Vasquez, or Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández. Tell them to press HHS and DOJ to publish overdue funding notices and release congressionally appropriated funds, now.

Take five minutes and make an impact for survivors and the programs that support them.

Federal funding for domestic violence shelters, r**e crisis centers, and programs serving survivors has been delayed. Programs across the country, including here in New Mexico, are feeling it.

We are joining with advocates nationwide to call on Congress to act. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice must publish overdue funding notices for the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act and the Office on Violence Against Women, and release those funds without further delay.

Call your legislators now at 202-224-3121 to tell Congress that survivors deserve programs that stay open, staffed, and ready to respond.
