Housing is one of the greatest barriers for women attempting to leave their abusers, and for those who do manage to escape, it’s a confusing process to get help. @cpedvcoalition's @Krista_Colon_ explains the link between domestic violence and homelessness: https://t.co/1El9ghQCkJ

More than four in five respondents said that their abusive partners disrupted their ability to work. Among those who experienced one or more disruptions, 53 percent actually lost a job because of the abuse https://t.co/FhXSO9Wql4 via @msmagazine
This decision is dangerous & misguided.
Firearms are used in more than half of intimate partner homicides in America.

Financial Abuse Is Common. Now There Are Protections For Survivors https://t.co/H7pWFT6505 via @calhealthreport#SB975 was a huge win last year! Grateful for the opportunity to work on survivors' economic security needs.
Since we as a nation have no guaranteed paid sick leave, people go to work and school sick, which is, of course, what leads to everyone getting RSV and HFM and H1N1 and many other series of numbers and letters yet to be identified. @lydiakiesling writes https://t.co/Y94WjZnzAK
