Sexual assault programs are lifelines for victims. Federal funding cuts would force MD programs to shut their doors, leaving survivors in need with nowhere to turn. @RepAprilDelaney: Congress must protect federal funding for orgs helping survivors. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

Defunding sexual assault programs doesn’t make survivors – or anybody – safer. @RepRaskin: Congress must support, increase, and protect federal funding for the services that victims and survivors rely on. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

When sexual assault victims have access to support, they are more likely to heal, pursue justice, and reclaim their lives. Federal funding makes these opportunities possible. @RepKweisiMfume: Congress must ensure access to these critical funds. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

Defunding sexual assault programs doesn’t make survivors – or anybody – safer. @RepStenyHoyer: Congress must support, increase, and protect federal funding for the services that victims and survivors rely on. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

When federal funds force sexual assault programs to close, survivors often have no choice but to stay with abusers, risking further violence. This is unacceptable. @RepGlennIvey: Congress must support essential funding to protect survivors. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims
