The House heard our message loud and clear - now we take it to the Senate! We need YOU to ask your State Senator to support inclusion of the VOCA Bridge in their supplemental budget. Without this critical funding, services for child victims are at risk.
Action is needed NOW: call your State Senator TODAY!
The VOCA Bridge is a multi-year $60 million investment to bridge cuts to Children's Advocacy Centers, services for child victims of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, and other victim services funded by VOCA (Victims of Crime Act).
Governor Baker's supplemental budget included the full $60 million needed to sustain victim services and prevent layoffs and loss of services for the next three years. We need the Senate to follow the Governor's prioritization of this CRITICAL funding.
