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.

Recent Child Care Updates

Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
