Thank you @SenatorDurbin and @SenCapito for reintroducing the RISE from Trauma Act. This legislation helps coordinate community responses and support services for the nearly 35 million children who have experienced trauma and nearly two-thirds who have been exposed to violence.

Threats to federal funding have immediate and severe consequences for survivors and their children, the programs they rely on, and the advocates who help them. Congress must act now to protect the lifesaving services survivors depend on! #FundSafetyNow #SupportSurvivors

We call on the Administration and Congress to work together toward a bipartisan solution to end the government shutdown to ensure funding for prevention and lifesaving services for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence without compromising health care for survivors.

From being followed to receiving unwanted attention to feeling concerned for their safety, more than 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men in the U.S. have experienced stalking. The latest data from @cdc’s NISVS make clear: Stalking is a public health issue. bit.ly/4nYWkNo

It’s the guns! ~100 million more guns are in the hands of civilians since 2012 when 26 children/educators were hunted/killed by a gunman with an AR15. In 1990, only 1.2% of guns being produced were AR15s. Now, it’s 25%. Where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths!

We must not remain silent in the face of rising division and extremism. And we must continue to work to find common ground that recognizes our shared humanity. FUTURES loudly denounces all acts of political violence and hate. And we call on our elected leaders to do the same.

And remember: It doesn't have to be this way! There are common sense, broadly supported ways to reduce gun violence: ban assault weapons, require safe storage, keep guns away from abusers, fund community prevention and intervention, and help children heal. #EndGunViolence
