Violence Against Women Act Day of Action

Nov 13, 2012

Save Wednesday, November 14 for a VAWA day of ACTION

Every national leader will call Congressional leaders

Every organization’s state leaders will call their U.S. Senators

Every local organization and all individuals will call their House members

By the end of the day, every Member of Congress will hear a unified message:

Work out the differences, pass VAWA before this Congress ends and you go home for the holidays.  Do not let VAWA die and miss this chance to help victims find shelter, help and justice.  There is precious little time left and victim’s lives and futures are in the balance.
