Friends,

Especially during times of crisis, we are all called to keep our friends, families, and communities safe.

But as we all stay at home to stop the spread of the coronavirus, victims of domestic abuse and gun violence are facing increased danger in their homes.

About a year ago, House Democrats (with Sharice presiding) passed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) to protect those at risk. But the Senate has ignored this life-saving legislation.

That’s why we’re calling on the Senate to pass this crucial legislation NOW →
ADD YOUR NAME

This act strengthens support for programs that provide resources and safety to survivors of sexual and domestic violence. It also expands protections for women on tribal lands and empowers law enforcement to restrict gun purchases by convicted abusers.

It has now been a full year of inaction from the Senate and victims are more at risk than ever. Will you be one of the 5,000 supporters we need to demand a vote in the Senate to protect survivors of domestic and gendered violence?

There is even more urgency in passing VAWA now, as we all look to self-isolate and stay home. We cannot forget victims of domestic abuse across the country at this time.

Please add your name in the next 24 hours to demand that the Senate passes this legislation →

Thank you for speaking up.

Team Sharice
