Survivors need access to protected paid sick & safe days, equal pay, & ability to form #unions freely and justly. Tell your Senators to support the Healthy #Families Act, the #Paycheck Fairness Act & the Protect the Right to Organize Act!

Survivors rely on resources like Apple Health (Medicaid) for the health and well-being of themselves and their children, but updates to the renewal process mean that survivor households could lose coverage if they don’t take action. Read more: https://t.co/C7DhHz7DaI

Including us! Please call your congressional representatives and urge them to vote yes to funding these critical services.

[NAESV @endsxlviolence]

The Victims of Crime Act (#VOCA) funds 6,000 domestic violence and sexual assault direct services providers, serving 6.5 million victims annually through the Crime Victims Fund. Congress must maintain steady funding for this vital program. #AdvocacyDays

Controlling behavior and extreme jealousy aren’t romantic. They’re abuse. Here are some signs of controlling behavior that we need to start identifying as abusive behavior: https://t.co/T8LLDCmG1P

[wscadv @wscadv]

Survivors deserve support and care -- and so do you. Supporting someone through abuse can be hard, whether you're a friend, family member, or advocate, and you deserve to take time for rest, support, and self-compassion. Learn more at https://t.co/DCDDJhBCj6.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay and everyday, we honor Indigenous ways of life, resiliency, ingenuity, tradition, & culture. But for many people outside Indian Country, this recognition is fleeting. Stay tuned for real ways to truly make a difference for Native Americans year-round!

[NNEDV @nnedv]

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay. The enduring violence of colonization has caused much harm to Native Americans, and NNEDV recognizes how much work is yet to be done. We encourage everyone to learn more, follow, and support orgs like @ATCEV1, @niwrc, and @strongheartsdv.

Domestic violence can manifest in a number of ways, and there’s usually more than one tactic taking place in an abusive relationship. Regardless of the coercive behavior(s) used, it always comes back to power and control over the victim. #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM

[Casey Knox @CaseyMaeDePompa]

1 in 5 women in the United States has been raped in their lifetime.

1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year.

34% of people who are injured by intimate partners receive medical care.

Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate. It can happen in every community and abusers can harm people of any gender, race, or socioeconomic status. #Every1KnowsSome1 who has been impacted by domestic violence and we all play a role in ending DV and supporting survivors.

The iceberg of DV shows how some forms of domestic violence exist in plainview, while others forms may be below the surface -- along w/ the cultural conditions that allow it to persist. #DVAM2022 #WeAreResilient
