    Thank you to Governor Newsom, the Senate, and the Assembly for including $103 Million in funding for crime victim services. We would not have this win without the hard work of survivors and advocates, as well as champion, Assembly member Eloise Gómez Reyes!

    Laura's House relies on the support and generosity of the community to provide vital programs and services to #domesticviolence victims and survivors. The "Sean Combs Effect" means they're responding to more calls to their 24/7 hotline and housing more people in their residential shelter. I suspect this SCOTUS ruling will prompt more awareness and calls. If you can, PLEASE donate to them. Laura's House serves everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Let's help them out. #Donate https://lnkd.in/gxgiiywg #Media, please connect if we or Laura's House can provide comments or background information. Margaret Bayston Darya M.

    It's rare when we can say The Supreme Court of the United States and Sean Combs equally impact our work for a client, but it's been a wild year. Today, #SCOTUS upheld a crucial federal law that prohibits individuals under #domesticviolence restraining orders from possessing firearms. This landmark decision reaffirms the importance of protecting survivors from further harm. Altalunas International and our creative partner Creative Vortex Inc. are proud to support Laura's House's critical work and collaborated with Executive Director/CEO Margaret Bayston to issue this statement: “The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the federal law barring firearm possession by individuals under domestic violence restraining orders is a monumental step in ensuring the safety and protection of survivors. Every day, we are reminded of the critical importance of believing victims and survivors of domestic violence and taking decisive action to prevent them from being further victimized. For 30 years, Laura’s House has been at the forefront of providing essential services and support to survivors in Orange County. The Supreme Court’s decision underscores the need for comprehensive measures to protect the most vulnerable. We urge community leaders, policymakers, and the public to recognize the ongoing crisis of domestic violence and to support local organizations like Laura’s House in their efforts to provide safety, resources, and hope to survivors. This decision is a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of upholding laws that safeguard those at risk. We must continue to listen to victims the first time they speak up and respond effectively and compassionately to their needs to prevent further harm. In adopting their stance, the Supreme Court affirms that we cannot silence victims. Their courage to share their experiences galvanizes many in our community to seek help and break the silence. Every time a prominent domestic violence case trends, we see a significant increase in calls to our 24/7 domestic violence hotline and a rise in shelter residency. Just recently, we fielded a 20% increase in calls to our 24/7 domestic violence hotline and a 20% rise in shelter residency since video footage surfaced showing Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly physically assaulting his former partner Cassie Ventura and the subsequent tide of other domestic violence and human trafficking allegations from other women. When survivors like Ventura are believed and vindicated, and the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, affirms the experiences of domestic violence victims, we know that our efforts are making a difference for those who need us at the most vulnerable times in their lives. We will not stop working to protect them, amplify their voices, change laws, and shift attitudes to help create a world free from domestic violence.” #media: Contact Cara Stewart with inquiries. #breakingnews #crisiscommunications Kyle Houlton, CFRE Darya M.

    We spent #WomensHistoryMonth recognizing the advances and contributions of women, dedicating time to help foster change and growth in our local community. This month, our Tarsans volunteered with Working Wardrobes, an organization committed to helping women and other individuals overcome barriers to gainful employment through career workshops, events, and professional clothing services. The team will wrap up the month by partnering with Laura's House, an organization that provides support and resources to women and families affected by domestic violence. We are inspired by the achievements that women have made in culture and society but know there is still work to do! We’re committed to ongoing efforts to ensure continued progress.
