| Our pay it forward, C5BDI give back continues! Our team recently committed funding and resources to support End The Backlog. This program is derived from Joyful Heart Foundation: a national non-profit organization founded by actress and activist Mariska Hargitay. The mission of this organization is to transform society’s attitudes about sexual violence and abuse, educate the public, improve systems to lessen the trauma survivors experience and ensure greater access to justice for survivors. Furthermore, the very core of their mission is to end the injustice of the rape-kit backlog by providing public awareness, engaging communities and government agencies and officials; and advocating for comprehensive rape kit reform legislation and policies at the local, state and federal levels. Of course, we thank team-member, Melaina Murray for recommending this great cause. |
