Thank You Congressman Payne!

New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne appears among the 25 original cosponsors of HR 4594, the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA). Amnesty International greatly appreciates his leadership on this crucial piece of legislation!

Unfortunately, however, none of the other 12 House members from New Jersey appear on the list of original cosponsors. Please call their offices and urge them to become cosponsors! You can find the name and contact information for your Representative by entering your zipcode at www.house.gov.
