Partners Against Violence usually gets funding from the VOCA fund (the Victims of Crime Act), California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), and Governor Newsom's office. Since federal funds were being cut, PAV was forced to look to the state. They attended two different rallies in Sacramento, as well as Policy Advocacy Day, back in early May. The hope was to talk to senators and assembly members about the cuts and their need for $208 million a year for Sexual Support Services to keep going in California. Newsom awarded the Crisis Centers $103 million one-time to be shared throughout Centers in California, leaving Partners needing funding.
