Rep. Ivey introduced a $5mil amendment to the Legal Assistance for Victims OVW grant prog. We're thrilled it passed- the $ would help MD survivors access critical support. TY @RepGlennIvey for your cont'd advocacy for survivors! On to the Senate!
Special thx to @endsxlviolence

1 of the most important ways to support survivors is to listen & believe them. It can be difficult to know how to respond, but your reaction to a survivor's story matters! Practice good active listening, believe them, & give them control- don’t tell them what to do, just listen!

Since 2015 MCASA has supported the passage of 170+ pieces of significant legislation to support MD survivors. Meaningful progress has been made to promote justice for survivors, ensure accountability for those who cause harm, & dedicate funding to sexual assault support services.

⚠️ SB932 would require all social media users to publicly reveal their location. Minors, however, wouldn't have to, which would only make it easier for predators to discern which profiles belong to kids. Learn more & take action to oppose SB932: https://t.co/eaNe3uErbT

Did you know only 20% of ppl seeking civil legal services get the help they need? The majority of Marylanders facing issues like custody disputes, eviction, or debt collection must navigate the legal system on their own. Justice shouldn't depend on what's in your wallet. (1/2 🧵)

We're grateful @OAGMaryland is taking action & demanding xAI take action to stop its AI chatbot ("Grok") from generating nonconsensual sexual images & CSA material. These images cause real harm. No one should have their likeness sexualized w/out consent.
