ACTION ALERT FROM AAUW NATIONAL REGARDING THE SAVE ACT!

Members of Congress have introduced the extreme anti-voting Safeguard American Vote Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This bill would hinder millions of Americans from registering to vote by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to vote. Click here for more information on this dangerous bill. In terms of timing, the House is on recess and returns February 24. We could see a vote as soon as next week. We will share any updates on expected timing as we hear more from coalition partners. We are asking you to contact your members of congress to oppose the SAVE act.

There are several ways you can contact your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act.

AAUW OF COLORADO STATEMENT ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PROGRAMS

Funding for many of the programs helping victims of violence comes from federal grants, including those provided through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), Rape Prevention and Education (RPE), and Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP).

We urge the President and Congress to continue funding these critical programs that help keep women safe and provide resources for survivors of violence. Reducing or eliminating funding will impact our entire economy when women are unable to work due to violent acts against them; when their children suffer from trauma, and when there is no safe place for them to recover.

AAUW of Colorado stands firmly for equity and economic empowerment for women and girls. We strongly oppose cuts in funding for these and other programs whose mission is to help those in distress due to violence. We encourage you to contact your congress members and express your concern regarding loss of funding for programs targeting victims of violence at: House.gov and Senate.gov
