BARCC needs your help. We are still advocating for the VOCA Bridge, a multi-year funding request to the MA Legislature for vital survivor services funding. This advocacy toolkit contains everything you need to learn how the VOCA Bridge supports survivors of sexual violence, start contacting your representatives, and spread the word on social media.

Educating Yourself and Others

You can learn about the VOCA Bridge and why it matters by reading:

Contacting Your Legislators

Reaching out to your legislators can be intimidating. That’s why we have created resources to easily find your legislators and know exactly what to ask them:

Spreading the Word on Social Media

You can let others know how they can support the VOCA Bridge by following these easy steps:

  1. Create social media posts on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Here are some sample graphics.
  2. You can use a pre-made caption, or you can draft your own.
  3. Make sure to tag your legislators. You can find their social media handles here.

Stay tuned for more ways to take action. Join our email list today at barcc.org/email.
