This is very important to CACs. Help us take action.

Congress has the toolkit to get the train back on track for crime victims and their families nationwide. The Crime Victims Fund has dwindled over the years but now it is facing a nearly 40% cut.

We call on our Congressional leaders to spur action on the Hill and get the Crime Victims Fund back on track in the next appropriations bill.
