"It's great to get a six-week reprieve. But that's not a budget. Let’s get spending bills passed, and victim advocates back to survivor safety and not worrying about having to stay afloat." -@CindySouthworth More in @USATODAY: bit.ly/2Ry5ZQ8

"The trauma of sexual violence is not something we fix. It is something we manage daily. It takes work. And that work is as messy and complicated as the individuals who live it." [Trigger warning for frank discussions of rape.] buff.ly/2Rw6PwK

@NTFSDV member, @nnedv VP, Cindy Southworth says, “Local organizations are terrified. They’re crunching the numbers, they’re watching. They’re seeing exactly how long can we hang in there and at what point do we have to start shutting down.”

“Most of what we’re hearing is fear and uncertainty. We’re days away from programs making really difficult decisions.” -@CindySouthworth More on the impact of the #GovernmentShutdown in @jezebel: bit.ly/2W2By34

This #GovernmentShutdown is jeopardizing #domesticviolence shelter funding. There’s too much at risk to remain silent. Join @nnedv in urging the Senate to end the shutdown and #StandwithSurvivors

"I would hate for any victim to make that choice to go back to a dangerous partner because of the government shutdown." -@CindySouthworth on @HLNTV Watch the full clip: bit.ly/2VIe03w

We also HAVE to stop criminalization of survivors where it starts--the local DA's office. Elected prosecutors have the power to support Black survivors but often choose to prosecute them. Call on your local DA to commit to never prosecuting survival: winningjustice.org/about/resource…
