Yeah, thank you for that question. Um, our report that was released this morning, Sacred Responsibility: Protecting Our People, details the 201 organizations that we did that survey with. And for folks, it's created incredible uncertainty. And in fact, for those who had grants eliminated and then they were reinstated, they didn't even rehire because they're so afraid their grants are going to go away anyways. And so they're really working towards what does it look like to have sustained funding that is respectful of the fact that we have a treaty right to these resources in order to serve our victims of violence.
