Greetings!
While Albany is busy working on finalizing the State budget, our assistance is needed at the Federal level.
The National Network to End Domestic Violence is asking for help!
It is an exciting and busy time in Washington, DC! While healthcare is center-stage at the moment, the appropriations process is also moving along.
We have early victories to celebrate — the President’s budget includes increases for FVPSA, VAWA programs and VOCA. In a time when he has vowed to not increase discretionary spending, these increases are impressive and hard won. It is our collective job this year to preserve the increases and fight for additional funding.
Of course, the reality in Congress this year is harsh. Both Republicans and Democrats are eager to look fiscally responsible and many members of Congress have pledged not to support funding increases. Because of this, we need to heighten and strengthen our efforts this year!
