It's our final #FVPSAFriday! The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (#FVPSA) was last re-authorized over a decade ago and must be updated to meet survivors’ emerging needs. Tell your Senator: it's time to pass S. 1275 and reauthorize FVPSA now: bit.ly/3fmtzw4

Survivors are not alone; they deserve support and resources, no matter what. You can help ensure survivors can access support by donating to your state or territorial coalition or local program: givefordv.nnedv.org/

Due to the impacts of abuse (and the nationwide housing crisis), many survivors can't find affordable housing after leaving an abuser. When local programs are able to provide transitional housing services, it can save lives. More in our #16Things series: bit.ly/2JpUO7c

Did you know many states offer legal protections for survivors' pets? Every member of a family deserves safety, and no survivor should ever have to stay with an abuser just to keep their furry friend safe. More from our @WomensLaw team: bit.ly/3Kpneuu

Phyllis was a tireless advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Her passion and dedication to this cause improved the lives of many. We are forever grateful for her leadership and advocacy.
With heavy hearts, we share that Phyllis Carlson-Riehm, who served as Executive Director of ACTION Ohio for more than 25 years, has passed away.

In a healthy relationship, partners are equals, which means that neither partner has “authority” over the other, and each partner respects the other.
