From the NWHM: Here is what you can do to help.
H.R. 1700 Passed in House
On October 14, 2009, H.R. 1700 passed the House Floor on a voice vote. Click here to read the press release. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate. See below for how you can still help.
Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) said, “There are museums for stamps and spies, for news and for poetry–but today’s action by the House means women are on our way toward a ‘museum of our own’. What women have contributed to the building of our country is a story long overdue for the telling.”
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) will re-introduce the companion Senate bill shortly. We’ve launched the Right Here. Right Now. campaign so that you can make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. Help us urge Congress to pass The National Women’s History Museum Act immediately.
