Many of the EOs issued over the past week have targeted our community's most vulnerable members. DCCADV stands with survivors and will advocate to maintain the support necessary to meet their needs. Read our statement on the pending federal funding freeze: https://t.co/e39iqWoNZz

@brendatracy24 Brenda, thank you for so bravely sharing your experience to inform others about the realities of people who have been targeted and victimized. The question should always be, why did they choose to harm/abuse power/violate trust. We must stop victim blaming.

Many thanks to @EWTNNewsNightly for covering this life-saving SCOTUS case.

[EWTN News Nightly @EWTNNewsNightly]

The Supreme Court justices ruled 8 to 1 in favor of a ban on firearms for people under restraining orders from their spouses or partners. The executive director of the @DCCADV, @daltondawn, explains the importance of today's decision.

I am so grateful to John for leading in this awareness and fundraising campaign for @DCCADV. If our Board Chair’s reflections resonate with you, you can make a donation on our website to support the ongoing work of DCCADV. https://t.co/ezfu00lhYl

As we approach Father's Day, DCCADV’s Board Chair and local Washingtonian, John Goodloe Jr., reflects on his family's experience with domestic violence and shares the importance of men demonstrating healthy relationships. Read the whole story: https://t.co/1lmx3adyHT

@Kimbriell I’m sorry to hear this, Kimbriell. I am joining the chorus of praise for you! The positive impact in communities across the country due to your journalism is truly meaningful. I, too, look forward to what is next for you but hope that first up is a period of rest and restoration.

Join us on October 30 for a briefing at the law firm of @Crowell_Moring to discuss the Survivor Story amicus brief we filed in U.S. v. Rahimi. We will discuss how the brief was developed and the impact this Supreme Court decision could have on survivors and their loved ones.

@DCCADV wants to hear from survivors of DV where firearms were a part of the abuse. We will be filing a brief in a Supreme Court case on firearms being prohibited when a protection order is in place. This brief will share the real-life experiences of survivors! Please share!

[DCCADV @DCCADV]

🗣️ SHARE THIS POST! We are leading the charge for a national amicus brief ft. #survivorstories to be submitted to the Supreme Court next month. If you have a story about #domesticviolence and firearms, we would like to read it. ▶️ https://t.co/wvU7WvbX3V #endgunviolence

I have been a fan of Michael Harriot and his work for a long time. Here’s why:

Tonight, a mom joined the grieving parents FB group I belong to.

Her son was killed 22 mass shootings ago.

He was killed in a mass shooting last week.

Thank you to @CMBrookePinto for reminding COW @ mark-up that "gaps are still great" - A2J and Victim Services need more $ for "fundamentally critical supports for our residents."

Victim services needs $6M+ more to keep current services for survivors. Fund the #TrueCost

[Council of DC @councilofdc]

On this date in 1775, America’s war against “Taxation without Representation" began, with the Battles of Lexington & Concord

Here in DC, that war never ended

DC pays more per capita in federal taxes than any other Americans, yet we have zero votes in Congress
#DCStatehood

[dawn dalton @daltondawn]

The well-being of survivors is in jeopardy. @councilofdc stand with survivors and reverse budget cuts for DV in FY24. Support @dccadv with an increase of $28.2 million for survivor orgs. Cutting victim services would be disastrous for #SurvivorSafety!

[DCCADV @DCCADV]

There is still time to spread some cheer! Join us for our End of Year Giving Campaign.

Our End of Year Campaign helps provide the extra support needed to deliver our member services on issues impacting survivors here in DC. We appreciate your support!
