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/

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

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 #FVPSA is at the heart of our nation’s response to domestic violence services. H.R. 2119 would bolster existing programs, increase authorized funding, and expand access for underserved communities. Urge your Representative to vote YES: bit.ly/3zPNVm2
