#NationalSurvivorsVoteDay is a moment to remind our communities that civic engagement is part of survivor justice. From local elections to national policy, survivors deserve to have their voices heard in every space where decisions are made.
Our voices matter. Our votes matter.

Calling Congressional offices can be intimidating, but with the ongoing government shutdown, your representatives need to hear from you now more than ever. Do farm chores with Ashleigh as you learn about how to contact your Congressperson.

🚨 Support survivors and call Congress NOW! Threats to federal funding due to a government shutdown have immediate and severe consequences for survivors and their children, the programs they rely on, and the advocates who help them. #SupportSurvivors
Over a teal and purple ombre image of the U.S. Capitol, white, teal, and purple text reads: “Tell Congress to #SupportSurvivors. Federal funding is vital for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and the programs that support them.” NNEDV and NAESV logos above text. Over a teal and purple ombre background, white text reads: “Call 202-224-3121 and tell Congress: Hello, my name is [name] and I live in [city, state]. I'm calling to urge Congress and the Administration to work together toward a bipartisan solution that will ensure lifesaving services for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence without compromising health care for survivors. Survivors need both services and health care to heal and find safety. Please protect federal funding and keep health care affordable and accessible. Thank you for supporting survivors.” NNEDV and NAESV logos below text.
