Hello everyone,
Congressman Jim McGovern is leading the way in the United States with House Resolution 342 (H. Res. 342), the DES Resolution. It calls for truth, accountability, and long-overdue recognition for DES survivors and their families.
But here’s the crucial update:
Right now, Congressman McGovern’s office says the most powerful way to make a difference is for YOU to reach out to your own representatives and urge them to co-sponsor H. Res. 342. Every co-sponsor brings us closer to truth, accountability, and justice for DES survivors.
H. Res. 342 won't move forward unless YOU step up — today.
