From pandemic-era spikes in violence to the Trump administration’s recent budget cuts, how are advocates and policy experts addressing the ongoing domestic violence crisis? Chris joined #OnTheIssuesPod with @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social at @msmagazine.com to discuss: msmagazine.com/podcast/shat...

Happy #PurpleThursday from the Partnership! We wear purple in solidarity of survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence and to not only spread awareness, but to remind us to take action toward ending violence.

oin us today on #PurpleThursday to honor survivors, uplift their voices, & reaffirm our commitment to a world free from domestic violence.💜 We’re proud to stand alongside our partners @endingdvinca.bsky.social in raising awareness & building communities rooted in prevention, safety, & healing.

We're talking about Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (#MMIP) on Nov 5th at the California Statewide Domestic Violence Conference. Prices increase tomorrow, so get your tickets today: bit.ly/CADVConf2025

🎉Resistance works! After multiple states’ Attorneys General sued the Department of Justice, the federal administration removed illegal restrictions on legal services for immigrants they imposed earlier this year. Read @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov's press release here: oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Violence does not discriminate, and our services shouldn’t either. Every survivor deserves access to hotlines, counseling services, and legal support. Read the press release here: oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

🚨 Support survivors of violence & call Congress NOW! Threats to federal funding due to a govt. shutdown have immediate & severe consequences for survivors, the programs they rely on, and the advocates who help them. Congress must protect these lifesaving services. #FundSafetyNow

When you see coverage of dv in your community does it include the voices of survivors in a trauma informed manner? We’re offering a training that centers survivors of sexual & domestic violence who want to connect their story to create change. More info: cpedv.coalitionmanager.org/formmanager/...

If you are a survivor of intimate partner violence, we want to hear about your experiences accessing services to help improve services in your communities and across California. If you’re safe and comfortable sharing, please complete this anonymous and confidential survey. tinyurl.com/CANAS2025

A domestic violence service provider in LA tells me a victim has gone missing and is “likely back with her abuser” because she was afraid to go to court to get a restraining order Monday with ICE staking out courthouses. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

LA's domestic violence service providers talk to @juliannemcshane.bsky.social about ICE's chilling effect on their organizations and the undocumented survivors they serve. “She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

NEW @motherjones.com: Spoke to 6 domestic violence shelters/orgs in LA about the chilling effects of ICE: They’re closing their doors & survivors are afraid to seek help. “DV programs should be safe sanctuaries & we can’t even guarantee that anymore,” one said. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🎉Victory! @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social and #CALeg included $100M for victim services in California's final budget negotiations www.cpedv.org/press-releas...

Tell @CAgovernor to approve $100 million in funding to support survivors. We had some of our advocates explain the consequences if survivor services aren't funded: 🧵 1/10

We call on @governor.ca.gov to approve the $100 million proposed by the Assembly and Senate to maintain funding for victims’ services this year. We are grateful to the Legislature, especially our champions Senator Reyes and @asmpilarschiavo.bsky.social, for prioritizing this critical funding.

Domestic violence & sexual assault programs in CA rely on federal funding for staffing, services, & prevention. Recent federal grant terminations threaten domestic violence programs & victims’ lives. Congress must reinstate and protect our funding! #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

When federal funds force domestic & sexual violence programs to close, victims often have no choice but to stay with abusers, risking further violence against themselves and their children. This is unacceptable. Congress must support + protect essential funding. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims

🗓️ SAVE THE DATE! June 5 is our national #DayOfAction to demand federal funding for sexual assault and domestic violence services. Lives are on the line. Programs are closing. Congress must act. #FundSafetyNow #ProtectVictims #SavetheDate

"Without [VOCA funding], domestic violence victims in our community will end up staying in dangerous relationships, leaving without the needed support, which can put them in even more danger, or getting out and not having the resources they need to rebuild their lives."

Advocating for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors with our new fearless leader @valor.us @enddvincalifornia.bsky.social

🚨 @governor.ca.gov is ignoring the calls of survivors in his May revised budget. CA cannot build its budget on the backs of victims of crime.

Thank you, #CARepYoungKim, for co-leading a letter urging the #DOJ to restore Office on Violence Against Women #OVW grants. We agree: survivors of sexual & domestic violence need safety & support. This funding is crucial to preserving lifesaving services. www.ocregister.com/2025/04/25/r...
