Dear Friends:

Next Monday, NY State Senator Hiram Monserrate stands trial for slashing his girlfriend’s face — an attack captured by video cameras in the apartment lobby.  Sen Monserrate continues to serve in public office despite being indicted on six counts of assault!

Read more about this horrific case in Amy’s Daily Beast article Did This Senator Beat Up His Girlfriend?.

Now it’s time for action!

Write or call the judge and let him know how important it is that perpetrators of violence against women be punished:

Hon. William M. Erlbaum
Supreme Court, Queens County

Kew Gardens, NY 11415
(718) 298-1401
( And let us know that you did by leaving a comment! )

We’re A Voice for All Women:
Nancy and Jennifer spoke out on a harmful op-ed written about AG Martha Coakley; while Amy spoke out in The Daily Beast about the importance of electing a qualified woman to Massachusetts’ senate seat.

Cynthia spoke out about feminism vs. racism and that neither political party is the party of women.

Anna Belle was honored in Today’s Women.

Amy called for UNITY and a ceasefire in the mommy wars at MORE — the keys to gender equality are right in our own hands.

Remembering Jana Mackey

July 10, 2008

Jana Mackey, Kansas NOW activist, was found dead in the home of her ex-boyfriend in Lawrence, Kan. on July 3. She was a former Kansas NOW lobbyist and co-president of the Lawrence chapter of KS NOW. She was attending KU Law school, and was working as a volunteer advocate at the GaDuGi Safe House helping victims of sexual assault. It appears she was the ultimate victim of a sad and senseless crime. "She was a remarkable young woman and a devoted advocate of women's rights. She will be greatly missed," said Gina Austin-Fresh, National NOW Board member.

"Jana was a daily inspiration. She worked so hard to ensure the women of Kansas would know a better future. We have truly lost a champion. The world is truly dimmer without her." said Marla Patrick the State Coordinator of KS NOW.
