It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Congress must urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to expedite the release of all congressionally approved Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) funding.
These delays are putting survivor services at risk—forcing programs to consider staff cuts, reduced services, and even closures. Survivors can’t wait.

Repost this message and reach out to your members of Congress today by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121.
