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!

SUMMARY:VaData Training
DESCRIPTION:Sexual and domestic violence agencies across the state use VAdata to track services and manage their grant reporting. For new staff\, this means there’s a lot to learn about VAdata\, how data is captured\, and how to use data to tell the story of survivors in your area. For advanced users\, there may be more questions about the many reports available or specific questions about how data shows up in those reports. \nAfter this training\, participants will understand more about the history and scope of the VAdata system\, how to use and audit queries to retrieve information\, how to use reports in grant writing\, raising community awareness and more\, and how data entry practices impact data and reporting statewide. Participants are encouraged to bring any and all questions to the training along with their laptops to apply practical tips learned to their own agency’s VAdata account. \nNote: We will try to accommodate last minute language translation requests but we typically need two weeks to secure interpretation services.
