Urgent Advocacy:
Contact Legislators!
Call your legislators and urge them to support a legislative add-on of $7M for domestic violence services in the FY26 State Budget. Now is not the time to roll back funding to programs. We need the legislature's support to ensure survivors, and their children have access to the life-saving services they need in their communities.
Key funding priorities include:
- Restoring the $2.2 million allocated by the legislature in FY25
- Increasing funding by $2 million for Domestic Violence Crisis Response Teams
- Sustaining critical services such as emergency shelter, legal advocacy, children’s programming, and culturally specific support for survivors despite federal funding cuts
