Re: Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Pass the Violence Against Women Act immediately

Friend, since life-saving legislation to protect victims of domestic violence passed in 1994, it has been reauthorized with bipartisan support many times -- until Republicans allowed it to lapse during the Trump administration. In March 2021, the House of Representatives passed the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2021. It now awaits reauthorization in the Senate. It is absolutely crucial that every single senator works to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act IMMEDIATELY. Can you join us in demanding the Senate reauthorize this bill immediately and protect survivors of violence?
