We remember what the previous Trump administration did to survivors and organizations like ours. Federal funding was slashed and more obstacles to receiving and providing services were put in place. They limited the reach and the impact of the OVW - Office of Violence Against Women - curtailing services to survivors of sexual and domestic violence, and in particular the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and Native and Indigenous people, among other marginalized groups. The reauthorization of VAWA - Violence Against Women Act - was delayed. The list goes on. This electoral result will directly impact our work in the coming years. What’s important right now as the political landscape evolves is for us
to
remind ourselves of our commitments and that we support each other and take good care of ourselves and our families. Our community of survivors will need us more than ever. We are resilient and we are committed
to
our mission. Our mission remains our constant: we are building healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal relationships. Our mission remains our constant. Without our volunteers, we cannot do the work needed to support survivors. Donating your time is extremely rewarding to the agency and the survivors we serve. We look forward to seeing your application and becoming a part of the movement to end sexual and domestic violence.
