We must eliminate this backlog. We must hold perpetrators accountable. We must give survivors the justice they deserve. The stakes are simply too high.
So, what can you do?
Spread the Word
Contact Your State Officials
Legislation and policies that require law enforcement agencies to test every rape kit booked into evidence provide a concrete way to ensure greater access to justice for survivors. Encourage your elected officials to pass legislation that will end the backlog and prevent future backlogs.
Support Our Work
This important work requires the resources to sustain cutting-edge research and an advocacy presence on the national, state, and local levels for years to come. With your financial support, we can continue to work toward the day when there is not one untested rape kit anywhere in the country.
Contact Your Federal Officials
The federal government has a key role to play in investing in justice for survivors, accountability for perpetrators, and safety for America’s communities. Every year, Congress funds rape kit testing through several grant programs.
