NEW YORK, June 25, 2019 - TV Land's hit series Younger has teamed up with The United State of Women on a Public Service Announcement in support of the Violence Against Women Act. Currently, long-standing funds to help and protect survivors of gender-based violence are under threat. This PSA features the full Younger cast - Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Nico Tortorella, Peter Hermann, Molly Bernard and Charles Michael Davis - urging fans to take action and help get the Violence Against Women Act renewed. "At a time when women and non-binary people are under attack, it's incredible to have the full Younger cast take a stand to protect women," said Erika Soto Lamb, Vice President of Social Impact Strategy for Comedy Central, Paramount Network and TV Land. "We are proud to partner with The United State of Women to help our audience take action to support the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act – and we have no doubt that Liza, Kelsey, Maggie, Diana, Josh, Charles, Lauren and Zane would do the same." Jordan Brooks, the Executive Director of the United State of Women said, "The Violence Against Women Act provides critical protections against violence and support for survivors around the country. We are thrilled to partner with TV Land and the cast of Younger to shine a light on the need to reauthorize this incredibly important legislation. We urge people to join our friends at Younger and USOW to take action and make their voices heard today." The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), enacted in 1994, creates and supports comprehensive, cost-effective responses to the pervasive and insidious crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. It is up for reauthorization every five to six years and this year, on April 4th 2019, the House of Representatives passed H.R.1585: the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2019, with bipartisan support. H.R.1585 is a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act for five more years. It makes vital improvements that are necessary to prevent domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking and to hold offenders accountable. The Senate has not yet passed a bill to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. To learn more and take action go to the TheUnitedStateofWomen.org.
