Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault (ICESA)

We'd like to thank Senator Pol from Northwest Indiana for meeting with our CEO Beth White about dangerous budget cuts to our Victims of Crime Act fund. He was very generous with his time and I appreciate his interest in helping victims. Additionally, a special thanks to Representative Cash for offering the bill to help fund the testing of rape kits in Indiana! Our CEO & Rep. Cash testified in the Senate Committee this morning and the bill has real momentum this year!
