    Chapter 41 | Out of Office with Kim & Kara

    Kim and Kara are hot off their time together in Colorado for a project they can finally discuss… The Survivor's Guide to True Crime documentary! The impact of recent hurricanes, ongoing relief efforts, and organizations you can check out are discussed. Kara and her husband watched two true crime documentaries that have stuck with her, whether she likes it or not. The significance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and supporting your local advocacy center is this week's call to action, specifically SAVA of Weld and Larimer counties. Kim has been hired as their development consultant and would love to have tickets and/or donations made towards the biggest fundraiser of the year, the SAVA Soirée, on November 2nd in Fort Collins at the Hilton.  Throughout the episode, Kim and Kara highlight the need for community involvement and the power of storytelling in raising awareness and supporting survivors.

    Chapter 40 | On The Wrong Side with Nicole Bedera

    But wait, it gets worse! Kim and Kara have an infuriating conversation learning some unbelievable things from Dr. Nicole Bedera as she shares 8 years worth of her original, pioneering research. This explosive investigation reveals the profound failures of the Title IX system and identifies concrete, simple steps we can take to protect students. Get ready, listeners--you're going to want to ride at dawn by the end of this chapter. Nicole Bedera, Ph.D. is a sociologist and author of the forthcoming book On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. Her research broadly focuses on how our social structures contribute to survivors’ trauma and make sexual violence more likely to occur in the future. Her scholarship has influenced sexual violence prevention programming across the country, including for Planned Parenthood, and her work has been featured in many popular outlets, including The New York Times, NPR, Time Magazine, and Teen Vogue. Nicole puts her work into practice as an affiliated educator at the Center for Institutional Courage and as a co-founder of Beyond Compliance Consulting. Learn more from Nicole: https://www.nicolebedera.com/ Nicole Bedera launched her debut book, On The Wrong Side, October 8th, 2024! Order the book here. Nicole's Call To Action:  Purchase the book, preferably from an indie bookstore, and if you have any questions you want to send Nicole directly, she would love to hear them. If you read the book and you have thoughts about it, she'd love to hear those too. _________ Join Kim and Kara's "Captive Audience" by visiting   https://www.patreon.com/SGTC.  Like what we're doing here?

    Chapter 38 | Emotional Baggage Flies Free with Kim & Kara

    Pack your suitcase for a trauma trip! Kim and Kara chart new territory reflecting on alcohol consumption, Kim's Irish goodbyes at concerts, Kara's real-time unpacking of the challenges of parenting, and the compounded mental burdens that come with these responsibilities as survivors. They also discuss the concept of code-switching and its impact on identity. Kim asks listeners for a very specific birthday gift this year: urge Congress to pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act. Call to Action: Urge Congress to Pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (H.R.8061/S.4514) urging the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to authorize much-needed 2024 bridge funding for the federal Crime Victims Fund (VOCA Fund). The VOCA Fund supports the provision of essential direct services for crime victims and survivors across the country. According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime, projected fiscal year 2024 funding for victim service grants will be $700 million lower than fiscal year 2023. The VOCA Fund was established by the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, and it is the primary financial source for victim services in all 50 states, five U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. VOCA Fund revenue is generated from offenders convicted of crimes, not from taxes. In 2021, Congress passed the VOCA Fix Act, which allows monetary recoveries from federal deferred prosecutions and non-prosecution agreements to replenish the fund. While passage of the VOCA Fix Act was necessary, it was not sufficient to adequately shore up fund balances, and 2024 VOCA funding for crime victim service programs is anticipated to be 41% lower nationwide when compared to 2023 grant awards. Without prompt action by Congress, many victim service programs across the country may be forced to close. The VOCA Fund supports medical care, mental health counseling, lost wages, courtroom advocacy, and temporary housing for victims and survivors of crime. It also helps to fund federal, state, and tribal victim service programs, crime victim compensation, discretionary grant awards, victim specialists in U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the federal victim notification system.
