Thanks to all who advocated to keep essential funding in the #DCbudget! @councilofdc's draft shows promise: #AccessToJustice funds appear restored to near FY25 levels, and Victim Services grants may see a meaningful increase. The final votes are ahead, but this is encouraging.

Our Executive Director, Sara Tennen, testified this morning in support of restoring Victim Services and #AccesstoJustice Funding in the DC Budget. "This funding is responsible for over 50% of our organization’s budget. The cuts will be devastating for our community."

No one should live in fear of a partner with a gun. But every month, an average of 76 women in the US are shot and killed by an intimate partner, and many more are shot and wounded. We #WearOrange to shine a light on the deadly intersection of intimate partner violence and guns.

DC’s FY26 budget must protect Access to Justice & Victim Services funding. These programs keep survivors safe and give vulnerable children a voice. @councilofdc #FundJusticeDC #AccessToJustice #FundJusticeDC #DCBudget #dcciviljustice #restoreATJfunding #theInitiativeworks
