MNCASA Membership Renewal 

Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting and advocating for victim/survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones. And thank you for the work you do to create a world where sexual violence no longer exists. We hope you will continue to join MNCASA as a collective voice in this work by renewing your membership, or joining the coalition as a new member today!  

  This year we all experienced a challenge we had never been faced with before, a state government shutdown. It was unknown what the outcome would be for sexual assault advocacy programs during this time. Thanks to the collaborative efforts from MNCASA staff and member programs that provided testimony, sexual assault advocacy programs were granted the status of essential services and were called on to reopen and serve their communities.

 These kinds of challenges are the kind that call us together as a collective voice, as a movement, as a coalition. And it is because of the support that you provide with your membership dues, and your willingness to work as a coalition with the staff in our St. Paul office, that we can overcome these challenges together. As you know, we rely heavily on your membership dues to help cover our very important lobbying costs in St. Paul as well as Washington, DC.

 By choosing to renew your membership with MNCASA, you have the opportunity to collaborate with other advocacy programs and allies across the state as you work to end sexual violence in Minnesota. Here are just a few of the membership benefits you will continue to enjoy as a MNCASA member:

• Technical assistance
• Free monthly webinars on timely topics
• Access to the password protected portion of the Members section of the MNCASA website
• Legislative updates
• Discounted registration to the Annual Training Symposium 
• Opportunities to network with colleagues from around the state
• Free/low-cost trainings, including MNCASA Advocacy Skills Trainings provided only to members
• Membership and Program Directors meetings
• Access to listservs

 Please renew your membership or join the coalition today so that MNCASA can continue to provide leadership in our efforts to support sexual assault advocacy programs throughout the state and end sexual violence in Minnesota!
