22:27Now PlayingSenator Murray expresses her strong disappointment that Republicans blocked efforts to move the Violence Against Women Act, bipartisan, inclusive legislation which passed the Senate three months ago with 68 votes, to the House of Representatives.
Last week, Senator Murray took to the floor and shared stories () of domestic violence survivors from Washington state who would be left out of the House version of VAWA, including a transgender survivor, an immigrant survivor, and a Native American survivor. The new legislation Senator Murray is fighting for includes provisions protecting Native American women from domestic violence and sexual assault, and includes nondiscrimination protection for all victims, regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
