Call now for next week's vote on VAWA

from Donna De La Cruz, Reform Immigration FOR America

Thanks to more than 6,000 activists, we are making our voices heard for a true Violence Against Women Act that does not discriminate on race or immigration status -- but anti-immigrant zealots are not backing down.

The House will vote early next week on the Adams-Foxx-Cantor version of the bill (HR 4970), and we are ramping up our message and calling our Representatives to reject H.R. 4970. Click here to make your call now.

You know what's at stake in this debate. Abusers who batter their immigrant partners often try to control and stop the marriage adjustment process to deny their spouses their right to get Permanent Residency status. The current Violence Against Women Act allows immigrant women who are trapped in these situations to self-petition, so that they can escape from violence and abuse. H.R. 4970 would eliminate confidentiality, stripping away the protection that self-petition depends upon, and giving abusers more power.

With hope,
