Survivors In Action – last resort for victims of violence
Survivors In Action – A national interactive victims of crime non-profit organization is now picking up where other organizations and coalitions have failed.
Now, that Governor Schwarzenegger has cut all funding for domestic violence programs, SIA will with open arms, handle the fallout. Survivors In Action is not your “typical” dv organization. SIA takes pride in helping all victims from men, women, children, the elderly and the gay and lesbian communities. They provide services for domestic violence, sexual assault, cyber crimes, stalking, identity theft, crimes against the elderly and the list goes on.
No one is ever turned away. If we can’t help a victim, we will see to it that we find the resource and make sure that victim reaches the appropriate service, explains Alexis A. Moore, the founder of Survivors In Action. Funding is an issue, but for now, we have to worry about the victims, their needs have to be met, or lives will be lost, Moore continued.
What makes SIA so different is their Interactive Advocacy Program. This program will train volunteers to become advocates. This teaching program will be offered via an interactive classroom in real time. The course will be offered every three months and what is so special and unique is that advocates can reside in each state, town or city. SIA’s website will be the future host for victims to reach out interactively. It’s truly an amazing program, especially for the 21st Century.
Victims will be able to communicate with advocates with the utmost confidence, security and safety. If you would like to make a donation to the SIA Interactive Advocacy Program, you can go to their Cause page on Face-book.
For more information on becoming a volunteer, please see their page on Volunteer Match.
Survivors In Action has created a petition for Domestic Violence Reform which has close to three thousand signatures. The mission, for every coalition and organization who has turned away a victim from receiving help, they will be held accountable for their actions. These dv non-profits get funding on the Federal and State level, if they are not helping the victims, what are they using the funds on? where is the money going?
To read about some of the victims who were refused help, go to Survivors In Action’s website under Domestic Violence Reform.

Ventura County Sheriffs Department should be held accountable for firing Claudia Valenciana and for not protecting one of their own. There was no excuse for terminating Valenciana from her position as Deputy Sheriff. This appears to have been a sexist move in the good ol’boysclub. There is this saying in Ventura County, “Go to Ventura on Vacation, come back on probation.”
