TCAVA Update: While we were electing new national leadership yesterday, Sen. Blumenthal and Sen. Moran were squaring off on the Senate floor, each presenting competing motions to pass TCAVA. Both failed. The bottom line remains: NO CUTS. Remove Section 108. Let’s keep up the pressure! Contact Congress now!
