The Violence Against Women Act provides support and resources for victims, survivors, and communities to help keep women safe, including critical federal funding for domestic violence shelters across the country. While Republicans are opposing the vital reauthorization of this law under the cover of the NRA\u2019s shameful quest to preserve domestic abusers\u2019 access to guns, Democrats are committed to ending domestic violence and sexual assault. That\u2019s why we expanded VAWA\u2019s protections for LGBTQ, Native American, and immigrant women, while also making it harder for those convicted of domestic violence to acquire firearms. It\u2019s time for Senate Republicans to join Democrats working to protect women from violence and abuse by reauthorizing this critically important legislation. The DNC is proud to stand with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Karen Bass, and all House Democrats in the fight to pass a full reauthorization and expansion of the Violence Against Women Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DNC Women\u2019s Media Director Elizabeth Renda released the following statement after House Democrats passed a full reauthorization and expansion of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which expired in February: &nbsp; \u201cToday, House Democrats took a bold stand for women.
