help protect women

my dear friend, shonnie, is working in d.c. this summer for an aids advocacy group (i'm so proud of her!!). in reading over some of the possible bills to go to congress, she ran across a bill, the violence against women act. please click here to show your support.


Every day 700 women are assaulted by their intimate partners--and four are murdered.
In September, Congress will consider the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which is the most important legislation ever enacted to protect women from domestic violence and sexual assault.
If it is not reauthorized, victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and the organizations that support them are at risk of losing aid and protection.
Please, join me in supporting the reauthorization of VAWA. It's simple and important - and will only take you a minute. Click here: http://www.700women.org/
