Hi John,
The Senate needs to act now. Across America, thousands are in danger of becoming domestic violence and assault survivors. Our collective responsibility is to ensure that survivors get the protections they deserve, and we will do this by reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We know you just got an email from Suzan a few days ago on the importance of reauthorizing VAWA. We are following up because this piece of legislation is so significant we cannot afford to sit back. We have to make sure we do everything in our power to protect survivors. That is why we ask that you join us in calling on the Senate to pass this bill. Will you add your name to our petition? >>> This is not the time to let the lack of bipartisanship get in the way of doing what's right. We cannot afford to disagree on protecting survivors from violence. So will you join Suzan and sign our petition to call on the Senate to reauthorize VAWA and send it to the President's desk now? >>> Thank you, – Team DelBene ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Suzan DelBene Date: Mon, Mar 7, 2022 Subject: We must reauthorize VAWA Hi John, On this day, 9 years ago, President Barack Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) of 2013 after a lengthy legislative battle. These protections expired in 2019, and we must act now to reauthorize this crucial piece of legislation. My colleagues and I in the House have been working hard for these last three years to reach an agreement and reauthorize this landmark bill. VAWA, since it was first signed into law in 1994, has provided essential protections to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The Senate must move quickly to reauthorize these fundamental protections now. Will you join me in signing this petition to get VAWA to President Biden's desk? >>> Last year I acted with my fellow House members to pass the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2021, with tremendous bipartisan support. Now it is up for a vote in the Senate. VAWA remains a key legislative achievement that has improved federal, state, and local responses to crimes against victims of domestic abuse. But for the last three years, its reauthorization has not been passed by the Senate. As a result, survivors of abuse throughout the country have been put at risk because Washington refuses to act. After reaching an agreement last month, Senate Democrats AND Republicans must act now to get this crucial piece of legislation to the President's desk. The Senate needs to take action. Join me by adding your name to this petition to call on the Senate to reauthorize VAWA immediately. >>> Thank you for joining us in support of survivors across the country. – Suzan DelBene |
