Safety for Indian Women –The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act


Immediate passage of S.1925, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, is critical to the safety of Native women. S.1925 contains key provisions that give tribes more local control to combat misdemeanor crimes of violence against women in their communities and federal prosecutors more tools to appropriately deal with the more serious felonies.

NCAI encourages our members and the general public to contact your Senators now about this bill. Urge them to contact their to support the immediate passage of S.1925 with the Tribal Provisions intact!
