Hi John,

I’m reaching out because the other day we sent an urgent email asking Women’s Marchers to join us in channeling our anger into action.

In the aftermath of the tragic shootings in Atlanta, it’s critical we fight harder than ever to pass the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and rise against the forces of misogyny and white supremacy in our country.

When you’re done reading our email that outlines the steps we’re taking to do that, we hope you can chip in $5 or anything you can to power our organizing work and show your support this Women’s History Month.

The email is attached below,

Rachel Carmona
Executive Director of Women's March

Subject Line: 172 republicans voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
Date: March 18, 2021

John, we are outraged.

Fewer than 24 hours after the senseless, violent killings of seven women — six of them of Asian descent — by a white supremacist gunman in Atlanta, the majority of House Republicans voted *against* the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

If you find the results of this vote difficult to wrap your mind around, you aren't alone. It's infuriating that the majority of House Republicans would vote against this landmark legislation that provides resources, protections, and justice for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Especially in the wake of this racist, misogynistic attack on women.

Every single day the Violence Against Women Act goes without reauthorization is another day that women go without the critical protections we need and deserve. And every "no" vote is a dangerous, insulting vote against women across the country. Women's March is committed to not only the passage of this bill, but to holding every Republican who voted against VAWA accountable for their betrayal. That's why we're coming directly to you for your help to organize and remove them from office:

Rush a donation of $3 or more to support Women's March's organizing work to remove these anti-woman legislators from Congress. Together, and only together, can we power the work it'll take to elect leaders who won't waver in their commitment to protecting and advancing the rights of women.

A total of 172 House Republicans — a staggering, and devastating number — voted against the reauthorization of VAWA.

Why? Because the NRA is not happy that the bill would take away access to firearms for abusers, specifically intimate dating partners and stalkers. Now GOP Senators, many of whom are funded by the NRA, are feeling the pressure to block this bill. It's despicable.

These dangerous "no" votes came less than one day after horrific violence in Georgia that specifically targeted women of color. These 172 GOP lawmakers must go. And Women's March is leading that charge.

Together, this team has already generated tens of thousands of signatures to expel every member of the Sedition Caucus, and we're writing thousands of letters to defund and replace key anti-woman leaders like Ted Cruz. But that work can only happen with grassroots support, John, which is why we're asking you directly:

Will you contribute $3 or more right now to support our work to hold every single anti-woman member of Congress accountable for this vote? If this past year has taught us anything, it's that women have to step up to protect each other — and that's exactly what we're doing at Women's March.

Thank you for taking action,

Women’s March
