ABC 10 Sacramento: Local push to call on lawmakers to save funding for victim services

ABC 10 Sacramento was on hand for Prosecutors Alliance Action, VALOR, and Smart Justice’s rally at the California Capitol to urge Governor Newsom and the California Legislature to fund critical victim services in the wake of unprecedented federal funding cuts:

“Our system is so oriented towards securing punishment that we’ve lost sight of what victims actually need, and punishment can be a piece of that, but we cannot walk away from the healing and services that people actually need to get their lives back on track.”

-Cristine Soto DeBerry, Executive Director of Prosecutors Alliance Action
