Bill Passes the House!

We are thrilled to let you know that on May 7th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to form a Congressional Commission on the Potential Creation of a National Women’s History Museum in Washington, DC. The bipartisan legislation (H.R. 863) co-sponsored by Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) passed by a vote of 383 to 33 and now heads to the Senate where Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) are leading the charge. Right now the Senate version of the bill, S. 398, has 26 co-sponsors including all 20 of the women Senators. We are so appreciative of your support so far! Together, we will make this happen.
