Dear Survivor,

Today is Giving Tuesday — a day when people across the world come together to give what they can to causes they believe in. In honor of Giving Tuesday, all donations to Crime Survivors Speak will be matched up 5 TIMES - but only today!

At Crime Survivors Speak, we know that this time of year can be hard for many. But all year long, we’re coming together building the new safety movement led by survivors who want more safety, more healing, more crime prevention, more trauma recovery support and a justice system that prioritizes real solutions. 

Today on Giving Tuesday, we hope you will consider matching your advocacy and action with a donation of any size to power our movement for safety that lasts and justice that heals.  Every dollar helps us

• Expand access to trauma recovery and healing services for survivors
• Advocate for stronger, more accessible victim compensation programs
• Champion real justice solutions that work 
• Build our healing community and connect survivors with real time support 

If you need a little more inspiration, my team just let me know if each of our members made a one time gift of $32 (the average donation to Crime Survivors Speak) - our movement would be 100% powered by our people. Your support - at any level - helps us build safety that lasts and justice that heals.

Thank you for being part of this community, for sharing your voice, and for standing with survivors. And if this time of year is particularly difficult for you, know that we stand with you, too. When survivors speak, change happens.

In Solidarity,

Aswad Thomas, MSW

National Director, Crime Survivors Speak

Vice President, Just Safe
