On Behalf of 2,190 women in Beaufort, Martin, Hyde, Tyrrelll, and Washington counties who were served by OPTIONS in the past year alone - as well as, hundreds of other victims and their children who will need OPTIONS' help in the coming year - we urge you to make the Governor's Crime Commission and N.C. Council for Women to stop playing politics with victims' lives. Free up funding immediately to save OPTIONS' services to battered and sexually assaulted victims in our five counties.

The scale of this response confirms that local officials can no longer ignore the funding gap for OPTIONS. I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Governor's Crime Commission to demand an explanation for these budget delays. Expect a follow-up once I confirm the meeting schedule with their representatives.

Just put the money where it needs to go. Its not that hard. Stop making excuses and start helping the victims.

These women need help now not next month. Stop playing games with people's lives and release the money.

This is ridiculous. Leave the politics out of it and fund the services for these victims. My tax dollars should be going here.
