America is one of the most traumatized nations in the world because of the violence experienced in communities. Crime victims know what can make our communities safer. Crime survivors across the country are uniting to #HealTheVote by getting 100,000 crime survivors to vote this election, and demand that public officials commit to a new, effective approach to public safety.
#HealTheVote is a non-partisan civic engagement and voter education campaign hosted by Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice.
Join thousands of survivors across the country to tell our stories, center our experiences, and demonstrate our power through voting.

During the 2024 election, our network of survivors of crime across the country must continue to raise our voices and get civically engaged by having all the information to be an informed voter cast their vote.
We must continue to demonstrate the importance of our continued effort to elect and work with our elected leaders to bring much needed change and resources to our communities.
We want to hear what voting means to you and who you’re pledging to #HealTheVote for this election season — it might be yourself, a loved one, or the ancestors that came before you.
To raise your voice, spread the word and activate more survivors to get to the polls, take a few minutes to record your own video. It might be shared on this site, on digital media or at virtual #HealTheVote events from now to November!
