Defend Victim Services, Protect Public Safety
DOJ CUTS HURT ACTION CENTER
Why Support the Victim Services Emergency Restoration Resolution of 2025?
Because no victim should be turned away in their moment of crisis.
​This resolution supports the restoration of over $811 million urgently needed funding for victim services that was unjustly rescinded by the DOGE —without warning or explanation. These cuts have forced programs to shut down, staff to be laid off, and survivors to go without shelter, counseling, legal aid, and protection.
​
Restoring this funding means restoring hope, safety, and justice for victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, human trafficking, direct services for victims, prosecution and law enforcement readiness. It’s not just the right thing to do—it’s a public safety imperative.
