@PeterWelch @SenSanders @SenatorLeahy We believe that #PaidLeaveforAll MUST be a part of the #BuildBackBetter package - VT's workers, families, and small businesses will be left behind if we don't invest now! #carecantwait #vtpoli https://t.co/K0ctKEeWzQ

Thank you @SenatorLeahy for your ongoing leadership, your survivor-centered approach, and for recognizing the impact of the pandemic on survivors and advocates https://t.co/2PvrgjZ17e

NNEDV urges Congress to pass #PaidLeaveForAll, including #PaidSafeLeave, in the #BuildBackBetter package.

Over 1700 victim advocacy groups have watched criminal settlements totaling more than $545 million deposited into the General Fund rather than into the Crime Victims Fund this calendar year, because the #VOCAFix has not passed.

TY @PeterWelch for supporting #VAWA21 - a bill that prioritizes the needs of Communities of Color. #HR1620 really is a #VAWA4ALL

[VT Network @VT_Network]

We are so grateful that support for domestic violence victims is a top legislative priority for 2020. We look forward to working with both the House and the Senate to strengthen the relief from abuse process. Thank you @MitziJohnsonVT and @TimAsheVT!

According to the report, “66% of survivors report that their abusers discouraged them from doing things that would lead to their economic advancement” @ChangeStoryVT @VTWomen @VTWorks4Women

“We ended the report not with questions but with recommendations. We have learned enough to know it is time to take action” @TiffanyBluemle speaking at the @ChangeStoryVT report release @VTWomen @VTWorks4Women

The allegations reported this week are deeply disturbing and antithetical to our values as a state. Sexual abuse and exploitation of inmates in Vermont represents a failure of our state to adequately protect those most vulnerable. https://t.co/Sfsrk2FfaB
