many points of this list boil down to MORE money for cops.
they’re asking for ONE BILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the rape kits ALONE.
notice many of these points are about giving more money to the state so they can put more people in jail.
i’ve long said the concept of a “rape kit backlog” is copaganda. it helps cops look like they’re not the ones actively sabotaging rape cases AND justify get more $$ for an issue they don’t care about.
"as you know, this means that thousands of sexual offenders remain at large, free to reoffend"
Carceral.
Ah, yes, trauma-informed abuse 🤩
Notice how they use "strongest predictor of arrest" as a metric for success. So it isn't even about victims...its about the system throwing more people in jail. They keep talking about rapists being "at large#"

Survivors deserve policies that protect them and support their fight for justice. As President Biden and Vice President Harris take office, we\u2019ve sent them a letter outlining the actions we\u2019d like to see their administration prioritize over the next 4 years. @rainnaction 1/5 pic.twitter.com/dAuhCslVTm
