We can really make this happen!
Thanks to your efforts we now have nearly 2,000 Initiative supporters from around the country! In just one week, nearly 200 individuals and several organizations have added their support to our Initiative.
On April 14th, DASH and fourteen other local and national organizations as well as crime survivors testified before the DC Council Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary sharing deep concern for victims services in the District and stating very clearly that the solution is to bring Crime Victims Compensation Funds back under DC Government control, under the DC Office of Victim Services. We were heard and we are gaining rapid support from city leaders.
But the change can only happen with the support of Congress. We have made significant headway so far but we must keep the momentum going. In the next few weeks, we will be meeting with Congressional leaders on victim’s rights as well as those on Committees with D.C. funding oversight. We need you to continue getting the word out to these Members of Congress.
In just two minutes, with one click of a button, you can email each key Member of Congress by clicking here.
After you sign the petition and send the email, you will see a couple of social network site links. This is a quick and easy way to help get the word out. You can easily click on the Facebook or Twitter button and share the petition with your friends, family, colleagues and others. You can also email the link as well.
