At -- we're aligned with 's call to reauthorize the Feinstein/Ernst #VAWA of 2022 to respond to the needs of diverse populations, including an investment in culturally-specific programs. And you should be, too!

Reauthorizing #vawa is a great thing, since it allows us to make updates to the grant programs based on what we learn. For example, this next version includes funding for #restorativejustice, which is an excellent detour from dependency on the police to fix sexual violence.
