Now more than ever, we must support nonprofit organizations to help the survivors of these crimes. Our advocacy during this budget cycle and the past three years on these issues is based on facts. This type of crime is increasing in our region, but we can work together to learn how to stop it. This can happen anywhere, including residential areas in our city.
