By failing to include $200M to maintain funding for victims’ services programs @GavinNewsom's #MayRevise allows steep cuts to core services for victims of violence throughout California.
Statement w/ @cpedvcoalition @Valor_US_ @LALGBTCenter @CASTLA, CACC

Domestic violence victims need supports to recover and rebuild and cuts to federal VOCA funding put those supports in jeopardy. Thank you Assemblymember Reyes and colleagues for advocating for funding to fill the gap. @EGReyesCA

On Tues., Feb. 27, Maria Nembhard, Jenesse's Policy and Community Advocate, joined other @CrdvNetwork representatives at the California Assembly Select Committee on Domestic Violence hearing, focusing on prevention and economic security. #domesticviolence #dvprevention
At the intersection of DV and economic security, social enterprise and culturally responsive workforce training facilitate violence prevention. Tejeswi Dodda of @Maitribayarea at today's Assembly select committee hearing.

Physical, emotional, financial, technological abuse, there's a need to talk about prevention with young people where they are, in schools, churches, their communities. Dr. Pamela Tate of Black Women Revolt testifying on #DVPrevention at Assembly select committee hearing #CALeg
🧵 We are disappointed to see that @cagovernor did not include $200M in the #CABudget to support victims of crime. This lack of funding puts 400 programs across CA at risk of closing their doors, laying off staff, increasing wait times for essential services and so much more!
CA victim service providers rely on federal #VOCA funding, but with cuts looming, we need @cagovernor and #CALeg to support a state backfill so survivors of crime don’t experience a lack of essential services.
.@cagovernor #CALeg we need you to #PutVictimsFirst and include $200M in ongoing funding in the state budget. With over 190 orgs supporting this request, now is not the time to turn on survivors of crime.

The CRDV Network wishes you all a #HappyNewYear 💫
We are excited to grow our collective in 2024 with many more events, policy engagements, and community partnerships!
Let’s take a moment to reflect on 2023 🧵
In November, our members gathered for our annual CRDVN Retreat in Sacramento!
We were able to reconnect, relearn, and engage in extensive conversations guiding us forward into our work in 2024.
Karen Earl, CRDVN Lead & CEO of @JenesseCenter, testified before the Senate Public Safety Committee on AB 1028 (@AsmTinaMcKinnor) in July.
This bill ensures survivors can access healthcare by creating a survivor-centered approach that limits mandated reports to law enforcement!
🧵Let's talk about ending GBV in CA! Join @Blueshieldfound @OJPOVC @ca_partnership @Valor_US_ @WithoutViolence for a virtual briefing on Oct 20 to learn about the first ever US #NationalPlan to #EndGBV and opportunities for the Golden State to innovate & lead.
Are you ready to take action?

➡️ Share this opportunity with a colleague, friend, or community member. We all have a role to play in this work!
#AB1028 centers care & directs survivors of DV to vital services, advocates who work with survivors to address safety planning, restraining orders, their children, finances, emotional/spiritual support, emergency shelter & housing.

Why do we support #AB1028? We agree with SF Gen trauma surgeon Dr. Caitlin Collins: “This bill is evidence-based, consistent with trauma-informed care, honors patient autonomy & does not restrict a provider from helping a patient engage law enforcement should they choose it.”
