VAWA expires today. VAWA (and the awful Managers Amendment) passed the House last week but it expires today.
We need everyone to call their Senators as soon as possible and urge them to bring VAWA to the floor IMMEDIATELY.
Please call both of your Senators and tell them:
Your name and the city and state you are calling from.
Please ask the Senator to bring the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, S. 1197, to the floor TODAY.
If you have time, tell them why it is important for your community that VAWA be reauthorized.
For contact information for your Senators, visit www.senate.gov or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Never called your Senator before? No worries:
When you call your Senator, your call will be answered by a receptionist. Tell him or her that you would like to leave a message for the Senator. The receptionist will take down your message.
If you called or faxed your representatives last week -- THANK YOU. Our calls were heard and have gotten us to the place we are now. But your Senators need to hear from us again. This is our opportunity to make VAWA happen!
For more information, please contact Allison Randall at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, 202-554-3436 or arandall@nnedv.org.
