Give Women’s History a Home Next to the National Mall

In a year when many women have made history, Members of Congress have the opportunity to recognize women's successes by passing House Resolution (H.R.) 6548 and Senate bill S. 3528, giving the National Women’s History Museum a permanent home.

Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) introduced H.R. 6548 with bipartisan support on July 17, 2008. On September, 22, 2008, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced S. 3528 with bipartisan support. Now, 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 H.R. 6548 and S. 3528 immediately.

• Tell your Representative to pass H.R. 6548 and S. 3528 now.
• Show your support by displaying our Right Here. Right Now. badge online.

The National Women’s History Museum (NWHM), founded in 1996, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit educational institution dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the diverse historic contributions of women, and integrating this rich heritage fully into our nation's history. Until legislation passes in Congress designating a permanent museum in Washington, D.C., the NWHM promotes women's history through its temporary exhibits, special events, Cyber Museum, and online educational materials.

What's New?
