Email from Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women Together, we do more! HOME ABOUT US BECOME A MEMBER At the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW), the safety and well-being of survivors and our Pueblo and Tribal communities in New Mexico remain at the heart of our mission. As the federal government shutdown continues, millions of families across the country face growing uncertainty. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, a vital support system for more than 21% of New Mexicans (source), may be disrupted as early as Saturday, November 1, 2025. For many survivors and families, SNAP is more than financial aid, it’s safety, stability, and survival. When access to food and other basic needs becomes uncertain, the risks survivors and families face increase, and maintaining safety and independence becomes more difficult. Guided by our values of kinship, healing, and community responsibility, CSVANW is committed to ensuring that survivors and families are not left without options. We’ve created a resource hub to connect relatives with food assistance, mutual aid, and advocacy opportunities across New Mexico. LEARN MORE Food insecurity extends beyond hunger, it is deeply connected to justice, safety, and sovereignty. When support systems are strained, our communities continue to rise with compassion, care, and collective strength. Here’s how you can help: Share our resource page with survivors, families and community Support Native food pantries and mutual aid Share verified information on SNAP updates with relatives and community Advocate for continued federal and Tribal nutrition funding Uplift local food sovereignty initiatives in your community Together, we uphold our shared responsibility to feed, protect, and care for one another. Because at CSVANW, we believe that community care is sacred work and when we nourish one another, we all heal.
