Happy Halloween! The costumes may be spooky, but consent isn't.
Consent must be freely and enthusiastically given and may be revoked at any time. What someone is wearing does not mean they consent.

As federal funds for VOCA have been depleted and state funds are in question, MO victim service agencies need the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act now more than ever. The Senate must act now to pass the CVFSA. #UniteforVictimsRights #NCVRW2026 #CommUNITY #CommUNITYinMotion
