Applaud the Advocates Defending Survivors' Rights

Here’s something worth celebrating: a powerful coalition of 17 domestic violence and sexual assault organizations is taking a bold stand for survivors everywhere. In a new lawsuit led by the National Women’s Law Center, these groups are challenging the Trump administration’s harmful restrictions on federal grants — restrictions that would force them to abandon inclusive values and silence vital conversations about gender and equity.

Instead of backing down, they’re standing up — for survivors, for justice, and for the integrity of their work. These advocates are fighting to ensure that all survivors, including immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals, can access the safety, support, and healing they deserve.

Their courage sends a hopeful message: compassion, equality, and truth still have champions.

Add your name to support these incredible advocates and their fight to keep lifesaving services open to everyone. Together, we can protect the future of survivor-centered care.
