We’re elated to report that – following over a year of hard work by CASS and our coalition partners – the Sexual Assault Victims Rights Amendment Act of 2013 (SAVRAA) is poised for passage by the DC Council this Tuesday, April 8. SAVRAA is critical legislation to protect and ensure the fair and just treatment of those who report sexual assault in the District. Our city needs this legislation urgently.

Unfortunately, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is attempting to weaken or delay passage of SAVRAA through behind-the-scenes maneuvering. We need your help to tell DC Council to stand with survivors and not weaken the bill!

TAKE ACTION now:
Sign our letter to DC Council! 

There is power in numbers, and your voice makes a difference. Please sign on to show your support and then tell your friends, families and colleagues to do the same!
