@dashdc "A budget is a moral document" 📷20% cuts would bring safe housing units offline or slash staffing for survivors with complex needs. Don't lose the value of investments to create safe housing and life saving services! Fund the #TrueCostofSurvivorSafety

"You're abusing me, too." Has your partner ever said anything like this? Mutual #abuse doesn't exist. Abuse is due to an imbalance of power and control & caused by a person wanting control over their partner. Learn more: bit.ly/mutual-abuse #SAAM #IPV
