SUMMARY:2025 Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:Calling all advocates from Virginia’s sexual and domestic violence agencies! Join us for our annual DAY OF ACTION in Richmond! We need your voice now more than ever! \nLocal agencies providing life-saving services for victims of sexual assault\, domestic violence\, stalking\, and trafficking are facing a financial crisis like we’ve never seen. Drastic and ongoing cuts to the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) program has resulted in a $22.5 million dollar reduction in awards to Virginia in just the last 5 years (federal fiscal years 2020-2024). The portion of these funds that go to Virginia’s 70+ sexual and domestic violence agencies\, to ensure frontline\, 24/7 crisis response to victims in communities\, has been cut by a whopping 54%\, or $13.5 million dollars\, in the last 5 years alone (state fiscal years 2020-2025). \nAs a result of these ongoing and devastating cuts\, the community safety-net for victims is rapidly eroding. But we can turn this around. Virginia must continue to PUT VICTIMS FIRST. \nIn 2025\, the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance is asking policy leaders for $8.25 million in state funding that\, when combined with current state funds and projected VOCA funds\, will restore Virginia to a total of $27.75M/year for sexual and domestic violence services. \nJoin us on January 29th and January 30th as we rally for sustainable\, robust\, and effective responses for victims in our communities!
