Did you see us in Ms. Magazine?

Did you see our op-ed in Ms. Magazine, urging Sen. Dick Durbin to withdraw or amend the bill he has introduced? It is called the Child Marriage Prevention Act, but it would:

• Lower the marriage age for immigration purposes in almost half the United States;
• Legalize the trafficking of minors to the U.S. under the guise of marriage; and
• Financially reward states that refuse to ban child marriage.

Please take a moment to email Sen. Durbin and tell him girls in the U.S. and across the globe are relying on us to end child marriage, not move in the opposite direction.
