you have the chance to make history for women this month...

you can make history this march...


genital cutting, “honor killings”, human trafficking - should another month go by where we hear about women’s rights being violated? absolutely not - you make the call...call your senator and ask him or her to join the growing list of co-sponsors standing up to support the rights of women through the international violence against women act (i-vawa)...

this saturday - tomorrow - march 8th is international women’s day, but you can take a stand for women all month because march is also women’s history month..make march a month that makes history!

are you getting my blog message yet??? - now is the time – make the call...during one week – todya, friday, march 7th through next friday, march 14th – i am asking you pick up the phone and make a difference in the lives of women around the world...

put some obama-type grassroots pressure on your senator to support a historic piece of legislation designed to give survivors of violence more assistance, hold perpetrators accountable, and combat the negative public attitudes that encourage or condone violence against women and girls...it is critical that this important piece of human rights legislation receive broad bipartisan support, so at this time i am asking for you to only contact your republican senators and encourage them to become official i-vawa co-sponsors...

in some states your efforts are already making a difference...i am thrilled to tell you that we've added pennsylvania’s senator arlen specter as the latest co-signer to i-vawa...with your help, we can continue to build this list of supporters and help make i-vawa’s goals a reality...

and my friends, do not worry if you’ve never contact your senator before; you can follow these basic talking points to help get your message across...your senator needs to hear from you!

so if you care about improving the rights of women, then you need to make a call on i-vawa...really...

thank you...

peace out <3
