Send 37 Words to Congress!
Every U.S. Senator and Representative should understand Title IX and the social movements behind it. You can help make that happen. After you order the book for yourself, send one to your Congressperson (or someone else’s!). Then email me through my Contact page to say which politician you’ve gifted. I’ll keep a running list to avoid duplicating efforts. Let me know if you’d like your name listed as the giver, too. Check here to see if your Congressperson already is receiving a copy.
