URGENT: Action Needed to Protect Survivors’ Services!

The White House has directed federal agencies to pause federal funding starting TODAY, January 28, at 5 PM EST. This temporary freeze could be devastating for organizations like Resilience, who rely heavily on federal funds to serve sexual assault survivors.

Resilience relies on federal funding for over $1.2 million of our $3.2 million budget.

Without these funds, critical services such as trauma therapy, legal advocacy, and crisis intervention for 1,400+ survivors are at risk. Any freeze or delay will have a direct and harmful impact on survivors—we cannot afford to stop or delay our life-saving services.

What can you do RIGHT NOW?

• CALL Senators Dick Durbin & Tammy Duckworth and your congressional representative.
• Urge them to ensure that already appropriated funds are allowed to be spent as originally planned.
   

📞 Contact Information: 

• Senator Dick Durbin: (312) 353-4952 | www.durbin.senate.gov/contact/email
• Senator Tammy Duckworth: (312) 886-3506 | www.duckworth.senate.gov/connect/email-tammy
• Look up your Congressional Representative: www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Please take action immediately—Survivors need our support, and we need your help to make sure these critical services are protected. Demand they fight for funding to continue these critical programs!

This fight is far from over. Help spread the word—the more voices we have, the stronger our impact will be.
