When people have access to legal support, outcomes change ⚖️ — families stay together ❤️, people remain housed 🏠, & communities are stronger 🤝 That’s why we’re urging IL lawmakers to fully fund the Access to Justice program at $50 million. Take action to help make it happen: https://ow.ly/JxVO50YTeSO

Release federal funding to #SupportSurvivors! The organizations that support survivors, like CAASE, need help. The last year has been full of federal funding cancellations & delays for anti-gender-based violence services. (1/2)

Currently, there are NO federal laws that allow victims to hold perpetrators of deepfake pornography accountable. We need the DEFIANCE Act passed ASAP! Existing legislation leaves huge gaps for deepfake creation, civil liability, and non-public distribution. (1/2)

"We are not martyrs. We should not have to be. And yet the culture that enables sexual violence leaves survivors with an impossible calculus: protect yourself, or protect everyone else. Only survivors understand what it means to carry that." https://ow.ly/Vxxn50YBShs
