Central Indiana Domestic Violence Programs Push for Funding on National Day of Action
- On June 4, 2025, advocates and survivors rallied at Willson Park in Salem urging lawmakers to maintain funding for domestic abuse and sexual assault services.
- The rally responded to a 42% federal funding cut and sudden rescinding of over 360 Department of Justice grants impacting Oregon nonprofits helping abuse victims.
- Advocates seek passage of House Bills 3196 and 3070 plus Policy Option Package 327 to allocate $41 million to victim services including emergency shelter and nurse examiner certification.
- Melissa Erlbaum stated that "the private sector can't make up the gap," while Zoey Reyes warned funding losses would cause fewer staff, shelter beds, and longer wait times.
- Without restored funding, abuse services face drastic cuts threatening survivor support, highlighting lawmakers' challenging budget task amid uncertain federal resources.
