<div><strong>Tameka Scrivens </strong>is a loving caretaker, daughter, and friend whose life has been marked by courage and survival. She endured years of domestic violence and, in the face of life-threatening danger, acted to defend herself. Instead of being protected and supported,<strong> Tameka was sentenced to life in prison for surviving.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But there is new hope. Georgia has recently passed the Survivor Justice Act (HB 582), a landmark law that acknowledges the trauma survivors experience and empowers the justice system to weigh that context, even retroactively.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What the Survivor Justice Act Means:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Retroactive relief for survivors behind bars, allowing those currently serving time to apply for a reduced sentence when their crimes are linked to abuse. 
</li>
<li>Broader evidence of abuse now admissible, survivors can present expert testimony and a fuller account of their history of domestic violence at trial and sentencing. 
</li>
<li>Judicial discretion for fairer sentencing, for crimes with mandatory life sentences, judges can impose 10–30 years instead; for other felonies, sentences are capped at half the maximum possible. 
</li>
<li>The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, offering a transformative opportunity for many incarcerated survivors. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But legal hope doesn’t guarantee legal access. Tameka needs a strong legal team to file for resentencing, and she needs your help. Every dollar raised goes toward legal fees, expert testimony, and the advocacy work needed to free her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This law gives her a second chance. Let’s make sure she gets to take it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Support Tameka’s fight for freedom. Share. Donate. Stand with survivors.</strong>
