Dear [Insert Staffer Name]

​

My name is [Your name] and I am a constituent writing from [your location] and I urge you to support the bipartisan, bicameral VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act ("the VOCA Fix Act"). 

​

The professionals at our Children's Advocacy Center (CAC), are first responders in addressing child abuse by bringing together a coordinated team of experts in medicine, law enforcement, victim advocacy, mental health, and other disciplines to both hold offenders accountable and help children and families heal in a comprehensive, seamless way so no future is out of reach. In past years, VOCA has been cut and will affect child abuse services if it continues to be cut. 

​

The VOCA Fix Act solves this crisis by redirecting monetary penalties from deferred and non-prosecution agreements to the VOCA fund and increasing the federal government’s contribution to state victim compensation funds. 

​

Please support or co-sponsor the VOCA Fix Act. 

​

Thank you.
