October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
2012 October 16
Your representatives and senators are home campaigning.
Call their district offices with this message and send it by email:
“Do you support reauthorization and prioritization of the Violence Against Women Act that includes protections for all victims? Three women lose their lives every day due to domestic violence. One in four women and one in seven men have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner.VAWA reauthorization must be a priority in the lame duck session! Please tell your colleagues and Congressional leadership that you want to see VAWA reauthorized NOW.”
