An open letter for our congress critters

Dear US Senators and Representatives,

Well, now it looks like HR 4970 may be advancing to be voted on next week. This is the House version of VAWA that strips away the provisions for LGBTQ, Native, and immigrant survivors. Let me ask you just one request:

For the real VAWA, please stand up! I do not want this to be the version that passes for the sake of being "bipartisan." Don't gamble with people's safety and well being.

Please don't divide the issue. We're talking about women's lives here, and we have to care about all the women's lives.

Thanks,

Revel
