I voted against HR 9495 because it gives any administration—including the incoming Trump administration—a tool to weaponize the federal government against civil society organizations, from unions to groups that support health care, protect immigration, and promote civil rights.

Talking about abuse can be hard, scary, and dangerous. Every victim deserves to decide when (or if) they can safely disclose. If a friend tells you that they're being abused, what can you do to support them? More information and resources: bit.ly/3F8PhMv

We know that systems in place do not do enough to protect survivors. It is right to focus on Kenya, and yet it is also right not to forget that other countries share this problem. We need to do more, not only in our communities, but across the world. 3/3

Rebecca Cheptegei is the third prominent distance runner to die from domestic violence in Kenya in just three years. Agnes Tirop, a Kenyan Olympic runner, was stabbed in her home in October 2021. Damaris Muthee was strangled and found dead in her boyfriend’s home. 2/3

Domestic violence is an issue worldwide. According to a 2023 UN study, globally, a woman is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. Rebecca Cheptegei was doused with gasoline and killed by her ex-partner last week. edition.cnn.com/2024/09/05/spo… 1/3

Every person deserves to have a relationship where they feel safe. We celebrate Pride and we also know that LGBTQ+ individuals are still more likely to be victims of violence in their relationships. We work for the rights and safety of ALL survivors, all months of the year.
