Tell Congress that they must reauthorize VAWA the Senate version of VAWA, which expands protections for all victims of sexual and domestic violence including Native Americans, immigrants and LGBT survivors of violence.

Show your support for VAWA by joining The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and The National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women in the #PassVAWA2012 Facebook Photo Campaign.

We need to make sure that VAWA is a priority for every member of Congress. Congress cannot let VAWA die and miss this chance to help victims find shelter and seek justice. There is little time left and victims’ lives and futures depend on it.
