| | A Message from NNEDV's Interim President & CEO |
| Dear Supporter, Happy Purple Thursday! Purple is the color of domestic violence awareness, and wearing purple today unites survivors and advocates across the country in our work to end abuse. Join us by sharing a #PurpleThursday pic on social media to raise awareness and show your support for victims and survivors. We’re also looking ahead to the Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) Day of Giving next Thursday, October 22. Right now, the entire domestic violence field is facing unprecedented, sector-wide federal funding delays, and we urgently need your support. Make your plan to give next week: support your state or territorial coalition, support NNEDV, or browse our Donation Directory. Every dollar makes a difference, especially right now. Thank you for being part of our community during DVAM and all year long. Keep reading to see what else we’ve been up to and where you can get involved. In peace and safety,   Tonia Moultry-Pace

| | | | The U.S. Department of Justice's proposed consolidation of the Office on Violence Against Women would violate federal law and weaken the dedicated federal response to violence. Use our call scripts (on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn) to contact your Members of Congress today! |
|
|
| | Federal funding is the backbone of our nation’s response to domestic violence. Federal funding delays are putting critical programs and lifesaving services for survivors at risk, with some grants now more than ten months late. Tell Congress to address these delays immediately. Survivors, and the programs they depend on, cannot wait. |
|
|
| | Tell your Senator to protect our communities and stop the proposed Office of Management and Budget federal grantmaking changes. This Proposed Rule would allow federal grant decisions to be influenced by political considerations, rather than merit, community needs, and Congressional intent. Find our call scripts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn today! |

News. ‘These depictions normalize the violence and reinforce cultural norms that justify and excuse the oppression and abuse of women and girls.’” (Yahoo! Tech) |

|
 | “The Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act would create a historic investment to support survivors of sexual violence and hold the federal government accountable when it fails to protect survivors’ rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. […] This bill is endorsed by the National Network to End Domestic Violence.” (Rep. Ayanna Pressley) |

|
|  | “NNEDV is proud to support the Skills Against Violence Act […] which will create meaningful workforce development opportunities for survivors and help them build the skills and economic stability needed to rebuild.” – Tonia Moultry-Pace, NNEDV Interim President & CEO (Rep. Emilia Sykes) |
|
|
 | “The Domestic Violence Survivors Alerted for Emergency (SAFE) Notice Act, new legislation to establish notification systems that would alert survivors of domestic violence offenses when their domestic abuser attempts to purchase a firearm illegally […] has been endorsed by NNEDV.” (Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse) |
|
|
| | | | Together, we can create a social, political, and economic environment in which domestic violence no longer exists. |
