June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. 🧡

One voice we don't hear enough in the conversation about gun violence is the voice of youth survivors. As difficult as it is to face, we cannot deny the impact of crime in our younger populations.

These California survivors of gun violence are paving the way and striving to reduce harm by embracing healing, hard conversations, and trauma recovery programs.

When survivors speak, change happens.

‼️Right now, there are over 100,000 people ON PROBATION in Michigan.

The best way to stop cycles of crime is to give people the tools to succeed. When someone on probation has a stable job or goes to school, they are drastically less likely to reoffend.

📝HB 5447 is a common-sense reform that rewards hard work. This bill lets people on probation earn time off their supervision by holding down a job or earning a degree.

When people are working and building a life, they don’t reoffend. It’s that simple. Let’s reward accountability and make our communities safer. Tell your local lawmaker to support HB 5447!

This month, survivor leaders from all across California came together in Sacramento for our flagship event, Survivors Speak California. We built community, broke bread, and marched a path straight to the State Capitol.

We didn’t just show up—we made our voices heard. We rallied for policies that actually support survivors of crime, demanding real funding for vital resources like Trauma Recovery Centers and expanded access to victims’ compensation funds.

Healing is a journey, but advocacy is a movement. Together, we are turning pain into purpose and ensuring no survivor has to walk alone. 🏛️✨✊

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind all crime survivors that healing from trauma IS possible.

At Crime Survivors Speak, one of our primary goals is to encourage and facilitate that healing. It starts with an individual and spreads to entire communities.

Your mental health as a survivor matters. You deserve healing. With Crime Survivors Speak, you're never alone in your journey.💙
