The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is about saving lives and ensuring
justice for survivors, especially those who have suffered in silence for
too long.

That’s why I’m proud to have joined my colleague, Congresswoman Marie
Newman, in creating a provision in this year’s VAWA to create grants and
services dedicated to supporting members of the LGTBQIA+ community.

Until now, legislative efforts have overlooked the hurt and harm felt by
LGBTQIA+ survivors, especially trans women, and especially trans women of
color. Now, we have the opportunity to right that wrong.

Our provision passed the House late last week — the first step toward
ensuring that LGBTQIA+ survivors get the support they need. But there’s
still so much work to be done.

Our new provision would create a grant program to help LGBTQIA+ people who
have survived dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and
stalking access the services they need.

Your contribution will ensure we have the resources we need to keep
fighting for life-saving measures like these.

LGBTQIA+ folx, especially trans women of color, are disproportionately
likely to experience domestic violence in their lives — and, they are more
likely to face discrimination and mistreatment from law enforcement or
crisis centers that do not have dedicated services for LGBTQIA+ people.

[ [link removed] ]This is another step toward ending domestic violence in our nation and
protecting everyone in our communities. Can you chip in to help me keep
fighting for equitable access to services for LGBTQIA+ survivors?

Thank you.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
