In the face of federal funding challenges, we are more grateful than ever to our partners like the Cambridge Community Foundation who believe in the power of community and .

In just the last week, there have been multiple devastating and fatal incidents of domestic violence across Massachusetts. Abuse is a pattern of behaviors that oftentimes doesn't start with physical violence. If you have concerns about your own relationship, or if you're worried about a friend or family member, our SafeLink advocates are available 24/7 as a safe resource to talk with.

Although such tragedies are often described an "isolated incident," the truth is domestic violence is a public health problem that will take collective work to change. You can help today by spreading awareness and resources with your networks.

🚨Urgent Advocacy Needed 🚨

Casa Myrna is facing a $600,000 cut in federal funding starting in July. This amount is far higher than we originally expected, and without action, this loss will directly impact services that survivors rely on every day.

To address this, Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance introduced the TRUST Line, a permanent line in the state budget. The House is considering this budget right now, and we need your calls and emails to get it passed. We have a sample script and email you can send your Rep: https://casamyrna.org/get-involved/raise-awareness/
