This is URGENT John: As you read this, Republicans are trying to trash the SHIELD Act. 

The bipartisan SHIELD Act would make revenge porn illegal on the federal level. We still have a chance to pressure Congress and get them to pass this bill — but we need to act NOW. 

Please call Senator McConnell’s office – OR send an email to his chief counsel – as soon as possible and urge him to support this legislation and finally make revenge porn a federal crime.

Here’s the number: (202) 224-2541

Your call/email script:

Hello, I live in [city and state] and I am calling to urge Senator McConnell to support the SHIELD Act to finally make revenge porn a federal crime. This is a long overdue protection of our rights to privacy, and the US government has an obligation to protect that right. Please do the right thing and vote yes on the SHIELD Act. Thank you. 

John: If the SHIELD Act doesn’t pass now, it may not happen for years. This is our last chance to get this passed this Congress.

Let’s get it done!
