ALT Urgent call to action. Tell Congress to Pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act!

ALT Call 202-224-3121 and say: Hello, my name is ___ and I’m a constituent from ___. I urge you to support the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024. The Victims of Crime Act is the primary source of federal funding for victim services, supporting survivors of domestic violence, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, and other serious crimes. Due to a significant drop in deposits into the Crime Victims Fund, or CVF, funding for these critical services has been severely cut. The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act will help restore the CVF by temporarily adding excess funding from the False Claims Act to the CVF to ensure that vital victim services remain available. I urge you to co-sponsor and support this bipartisan bill to restore funding for survivors of crime. Thank you.
