I am deeply concerned about the freeze in funding for programs that provide vital support and services to victims of domestic violence. These programs play a crucial role in offering a lifeline to individuals and families affected by intimate partner violence, ensuring their safety, and helping them rebuild their lives. The devastating consequences of defunding these vital resources cannot be overstated. It would leave countless survivors without access to emergency shelters, counseling services, legal assistance, and other essential support systems. This is an unacceptable outcome that would put already vulnerable individuals at even greater risk. I urge you to take immediate action to restore and protect funding for domestic violence victim programs, as their services are a matter of life or death for many. The well-being and safety of survivors must be a top priority. Please do not let these crucial programs falter due to a lack of resources.
