SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES ARE IN URGENT NEED OF FUNDING

​

Sexual assault has affected the lives of countless New Mexicans, our families and loved ones. Throughout the year, a network of sexual assault programs work together to support survivors across our beautiful state, in holistic, compassionate and culturally affirming ways.

​

However, these programs are already struggling to maintain critical services and address gaps, especially for rural areas and marginalized communities. On top of that, they are months away from experiencing a $2 million cut in funding due to federal VOCA cuts.


This legislative session, the Governor and legislature have the opportunity to allocate funding to address these cuts, support survivors, and invest in prevention. Add your voice and tell your legislatures why it is important that they fully fund sexual assault services in NM!

​
