 Give
Women’s History a Home
Next to the National Mall
Representative Carolyn
B. Maloney (D-NY) re-introduced The National Women's History Museum Act (H.R.
1700) with bipartisan support on March 25, 2009. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME)
re-introduced the companion Senate bill on October 29, 2009, S. 2129. The
National Women's History Museum launched
the Right
Here. Right Now. campaign so that you can make your voice
heard on Capitol Hill. Help urge Congress to pass The National
Women's History Museum Act immediately.
H.R. 1700, which passed the House on Oct. 14, permits the National
Women's History Museum to purchase land near the National Mall for a
museum in appreciation of women's many accomplishments and contributions to
our nation.
AAUW is a strong supporter of S. 2129/H.R. 1700, and Action
Network members were very vocal in urging their representatives to support
this bill. AAUW is also a proud member of the NWHM
Coalition, a group of national women's professional and service
organizations committed to supporting the NWHM mission.
