A 40% cut to victim services funding has already forced programs to lay off staff, cut services, and close their doors. The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (#CVFSA) can help stabilize funding. Senate leadership must act now!

As Unitarian Universalists we believe in Justice and equity. The Crime Victims Fund (CVF) is the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Yet today, the CVF is dangerously low, putting critical, lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk.

The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (#CVFSA) offers a bipartisan, commonsense solution to stabilize the CVF using non-taxpayer dollars, ensuring continuity of services while Congress works toward a long-term fix.

On Friday, August 28, 2026, I represented UUSJ at a Faithful Witnessing event in Springfield, Ohio, an interfaith event led by Haitian immigrants and other faith leaders in Springfield. Read Full Story Here: uusj.net/wp1/faithful...

Pierre Damas Bel was the kind of young man any community would be proud to call their own. He had just started his freshman year at Wright State University on August 24, chasing a dream of studying medicine. He graduated from Springfield High School this spring as an honors student, a JROTC member, and a varsity soccer player. He was the kind of young man any community would be proud to call their own. His loss is immeasurable. Unfortunately, Pierre's family and Haitian leaders believe he took his own life after months of mounting distress due to the loss of his TPS status.

As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to honor the inherent worth and dignity of every person, regardless of their immigration status. It is our honor to help share the weight so many families are carrying right now on TPS — not as an abstract policy, but as a daily fear.

Earlier this month, filings in a criminal case in Minnesota revealed that DHS had spied on Lutheran, Episcopal, Unitarian Universalist, and Baptist churches in the Twin Cities and at a Lutheran church in Michigan. And one of those churches was covered by a federal injunction.

In the last few days, ICE has escalated its efforts to round up, cage, and deport members of the Haitian community in Springfield, OH, who have recently lost the Temporary Protected Status designation. #UnshackleSpringfield 🔗 www.sidewithlove.org/newsroom/act... @uusc4all.bsky.social
