More than 700 organizations — including victim ser

More than 700 organizations — including victim service providers, advocacy organizations, and justice system partners from across the country — are calling on Senate leadership to act.

The Crime Victims Fund is the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Yet today, the CVF is nearly depleted, putting critical, lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk.

Communities are already feeling the impact. Programs have been forced to reduce services, lay off staff, and, in some cases, close their doors entirely. Without immediate action, more survivors will be left without the support they need to stay safe, heal, and rebuild their lives.

The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act offers a bipartisan, commonsense solution to stabilize the CVF using non-taxpayer dollars, ensuring continuity of services while Congress works toward a long-term fix.

☎️ Call your elected officials through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell them to pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act now. Survivors can’t afford delays!

We are heartbroken by the mass shooting in Shrevep

We are heartbroken by the mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, that took the lives of eight children and injured their mothers. Our thoughts are with their loved ones and the entire community as they grieve this unimaginable loss.

This devastating act of family violence is not an isolated incident. It is a stark reminder that moments of separation can be especially dangerous for victims of domestic violence, and their families, increasing the risk of severe or lethal harm.

It is also a call to action. We must end the surge of gun violence in our communities. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in the United States, and the presence of a firearm significantly increases the risk that domestic violence will turn deadly.

We stand with the Shreveport community and with all those impacted by violence, and we remain committed to advancing solutions that help keep families safe.

If you are concerned about your safety or someone else’s, you are not alone.

We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Dr. Cerin

We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Dr. Cerina Fairfax, killed by her husband former Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax this week in Virginia. Our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and all those impacted by this devastating act of violence.

This tragedy highlights an ongoing pattern that continues to put lives at risk. A woman is five times more likely to be killed if her abuser has access to a firearm, and domestic violence-related murder suicides occur more than once a day in the United States.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We all have a role to play in recognizing warning signs, supporting survivors, and preventing harm before it escalates.

If you are concerned about your safety or someone else’s, you are not alone.

Black Maternal Health week highlights the challeng

Black Maternal Health week highlights the challenges Black mothers face in pregnancy and childbirth, and recognizes the vital work of Black-led doulas, community health workers, and advocates driving change to reduce their high rates of maternal death.

At FUTURES, we know that addressing domestic violence is a critical part of maternal health. Violence during pregnancy puts lives at risk, and Black women, especially in rural communities, often face even greater barriers to care and support.

That’s why we’ve launched our new Rural Maternal Health Initiative, focused on understanding these realities and advancing solutions shaped by the communities themselves.
