There is an epidemic of sexual assault in the military but the military is failing to protect victims and punish perpetrators.
This week, the Senate could finally have a chance to vote on reforms. Your senator PAT TOOMEY (202-224-4254) still hasn’t come out in support of the bill. Worse, there’s a risk he will join powerful, pro-Pentagon senators in trying to block it. Please, make a call to tell him that survivors of sexual assault deserve a vote. Click below for a sample script and the number to call. (The script includes: (The problem of sexual assault in the military needs decisive action now, and trusting the military to fix this with half measures just won’t work. This bill has bipartisan support in the Senate. I know the senator has not come out in support of the bill, but I hope he won’t join with the pro-Pentagon senators who are threatening to kill it with a filibuster.) http://act.credoaction.com/call/Gillibrand_Military_Calls/?sp_ref=33218740.4.1190.e.0.2&referring_akid=10069.1920425.SHvPvK&source=mailto_sp Thanks for standing up for victims of sexual assault.
