Join us on May 27th for one of two webinars to learn more about our recently launched National Survivor Financial Security Policy Map and Scorecard.
To disrupt the cycle of IPV in the U.S., we need each and every state to be accountable for this systemic economic justice problem. This means centering survivors and their financial security in all state-level legislation.
We recently launched our groundbreaking National Survivor Financial Security Policy Map and Scorecard to help states do their part. With this accessible tech tool, users can quickly and easily learn more about how the laws in their state are impacting survivors’ ability to build financial security and stay safe, and what changes are necessary to improve support. Join us to learn more about this first of its kind tool.
