President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden join with Eli Manning, Jeremy Lin, Jimmy Rollins, Evan Longoria, David Beckham, Joe Torre and Andy Katz in this PSA to raise awareness about dating violence.
 
 Despite the significant progress made in reducing violence against women, young women continue to face the highest rates of dating violence and sexual assault. In the last year, one in 10 teens has reported being physically hurt on purpose by a boyfriend or girlfriend.
 
One in five young women has been sexually assaulted while in college.
 
In response to these alarming statistics, Vice President Biden launched the 1 is 2 many campaign last year.
 
This campaign focuses his longstanding commitment to reducing violence against women specifically on teens and young women ages 16-24.
 
 By targeting the importance of changing attitudes that lead to violence, and educating the public on the realities of abuse, this Administration is leading the way to stop violence against women  …More

FAIR SHARE

Conservative lawmakers are trying to put Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act on the chopping block instead of making the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

This week Health Care for America Now (HCAN) and its partners are planning a massive push to let the deficit fearmongers know where the American people stand: Cuts to these vital programs are unacceptable, and we cannot continue to let wealthy corporations get away with paying less than their fair share of taxes.

To break through the clutter, HCAN is using the social media tool Thunderclap to ensure that our message is heard. Thunderclap allows Twitter and Facebook users to send the same message at the same time, amplifying their words for maximum impact.

Choose “Support with Twitter” or “Support with Facebook” – or both! With your help, thousands of people across the country will demand that big corporations pay their fair share and that Washington not cut important programs like health care and Social Security.

Thanks,

Humanitarian Assistance for the Syrian People


 

 
 
 
President Obama announces an additional $155 million in humanitarian aid for those affected by the violence of the Assad regime. This aid from the American people is providing food, clean water, medicine, medical treatment, immunizations for children, clothing, and winter supplies for millions of people in need inside Syria and in neighboring countries.

Reform Immigration FOR America

ACT NOW

We need to let our Congressional leaders know that their work is not over until they finally pass comprehensive immigration reform that creates a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented Americans.

President Obama and Senate leaders have each introduced their own plan for comprehensive immigration reform. At the center of both plans is a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented Americans working and living in our communities. Now we must hold our leaders accountable to ensure this becomes reality.Tell your Congressional leaders now: their work is not over until they finally pass comprehensive immigration reform that creates a roadmap to citizenship.

To our leaders in Congress:

During this critical moment in the fight for immigration reform, leaders in Congress on both sides of the aisle are weighing in on plans for legislation — but true reform is not complete unless it allows for those living in the shadows to come forward and take part in full citizenship in our nation.

I demand nothing less than a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants as part of immigration reform — and I call on legislators like you to rise to the challenge of our time, and to support a roadmap to citizenship for 11 million undocumented Americans.

 With hope,

40th Anniversary


 

NARAL Pro-Choice America

“I want my three daughters to grow up in a world where women have the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies and their futures.”
- Photographer Jesse Burke

Last week, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade with “40,” a short film uniting cause with creativity put together from the incredible work of 40 pro-choice photographers.  

Choice Out Loud
 
The film kicks off Choice Out Loud, an exciting new project to connect with the personal stories many women and men have about choice. Go check it out today – and if you like what you see, help us spread the word by forwarding this e-mail to a friend or family member. 

It has been 40 years since Roe, and sharing stories about choice with each other has never been so important.

Sincerely,

Nancy Keenan
