There is no timeline for healing and we know that trauma impacts people across their lifetime. Programs in NM support survivors no matter where they are on their healing journey and we believe the funding they receive to do this work should reflect that.

Join us in advocating for recurring funding for these essential services! Write a postcard to your legislators today at www.SupportSASurvivors.com

Sexual assault has affected the lives of countless

Sexual assault has affected the lives of countless New Mexicans, our families and loved ones. Our state has an amazing network of sexual assault programs supporting survivors every day, but they can't do it without ongoing funding and meaningful investment in preventing violence before it happens.

The NM legislative session begins in January and we need your help showing legislators how much our communities need funding for essential sexual assault services like SANE & IPV exams, mental health support, and prevention initiatives.

Take a couple of minutes to fill out a postcard telling your legislators why this funding is important to you and your community by visiting www.SupportSASurvivors.com or the link in our bio!

📖 Our friends at @newmexicopfml are looking for

📖 Our friends at @newmexicopfml are looking for New Mexican's experiences showing why it's important that employees have access to Paid Family Medical Leave (#PFML). If you are interested in sharing your own story that would be used to help law makers understand why this is life saving legislation is necessary, visit the link in our bio!

PFML would provide employees paid time off it they needed to care for themselves, a seriously ill family member, or a new child but it also includes Safe Leave! Safe Leave allows survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence or their family members to take paid time off to seek resources like protection orders, medical care, safe housing, and more. Learn more at nmpfml.org

Image Description: Bold green text in a white box over a sea green background reads "Do you have a story that shows why NM needs PFML? Share your story to help pass a law providing paid leave for employees to care for themselves, an ill family member, a new child, or to seek safety after surviving sexual violence." Along the bottom in a green rectangle, additional text reads "For more info, visit the link in our bio or nmpfml.org"
