Now is the time to pass IVAWA!

As you may know, Amnesty has been working hard to pass the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA) in this congress and the one before it. We are very close, but not quite there! If Congress does not pass it before they adjourn in December, the whole process will have to start from scratch. Please call both of New Jersey’s Senators and your member of the House of Representatives and urge them to pass IVAWA before the end of this congress!

You can thank both Senators for cosponsoring IVAWA and urge them to make sure it gets passed—Senator Menendez is particularly important!

If you are a constituent of Sires, Payne, Holt, or Lance, thank them for cosponsoring IVAWA and urge them to work to get it passed. If you live in another district, urge your Representative to cosponsor the International Violence Against Women Act!
