The promise of public safety is intended to be universal, but for Native people it’s a promise that has never been met with resources or reality.

The United States must make good on their promises!

A new report by the @Urban Indian Health Institute highlights how the complicated web of federal funding is disrupting Urban Indian Organizations’ (UIOs) ability to provide life-saving services to Indigenous survivors of violence and their families. Because UIOs rely more heavily on grants, they are especially vulnerable to ongoing federal funding cuts.
