From my inbox:

Whoo Hoo!  We did it!!  BIG VICTORY in the Senate yesterday.  Last night, just before 9 pm, the Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY to approve restoring $100 million for the Violence Against Women Act into the Senate’s budget
proposal.   Thanks to everyone for your HUGE response to yesterday’s action alert.  We’ll have to keep on top of this as the appropriations process gets underway - but we’re
off to a great start!

NOW- we’ve got an important deadline in the House of Representatives!  Today is the last day for your representatives to sign on to the “Dear Colleague” letter urging full funding for  VAWA.  Let’s keep our momentum going!!

ACT NOW!

Use our easy to use tools to CALL your Representative  and ask them to sign on!! 
It’s easy!  We provide their name, phone number, a script and a feedback form.  You  provide the commitment to making a difference :)

Your CALL is especially important since today’s the deadline. Please CALL if you can!!
