8th Annual National Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Legislative Action Days
April 17-18, 2007
Washington, D.C.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence are partnering once again for this year’s Legislative Action Days in Washington D.C..
On April 17-18, 2007 advocates from across the country will come to the nation’s capital to meet with Members of Congress to discuss the importance of funding for domestic violence and sexual assault programs in our
communities.
NAESV and NCADV invite ALL advocates to join us in April as we address the importance of encouraging Congress
to fully fund all programs included in the Violence Against Women Act. Everyone worked so hard to get VAWA
reauthorized in 2005 but now we have to ensure those critical programs receive the necessary funding to implement
them! WE NEED EVERYONE’S HELP ON THIS!
NAESV and NCADV, along with other national organizations, will be hosting events for advocates and Member of
Congress throughout the week. These events also will be held in conjunction with Lifetime Television’s Stop Violence
Against Women week.
We want ALL advocates in the field to come to Washington, D.C. and tell your Members of Congress your
stories and why federal resources are so desperately needed. We encourage domestic violence and sexual assault
advocates, state coalition members, law enforcement officials, legal advocates, health care providers, and other
organizations and individuals that care about these issues to join us in April for these events.
Details are still being finalized, information on registration and information about the week’s events, a detailed agenda,
information on accommodations and travel, and FAQs will be posted to the website and emailed to participants.
THERE IS NO COST TO ATTEND THESE EVENTS!
Remember, mark your calendars for April 17th and 18th, 2007 and plan on joining us for this exciting and important
week of events. Anyone having questions can contact the NCADV Public Policy office at (202) 745-1211 or by email at publicpolicy@ncadv.org or NAESV at mwhite@wpllc.net.
