Urge Congress to Provide a Permanent Museum Site
for the National Women's History Museum

The National Women's History Museum (NWHM) has identified the ideal Museum site in our nation's Capital. The Pavilion Annex of the Old Post Office Building is located on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW -- America's Main Street-- in close proximity to national museums that now attract millions of visitors from around the world. This federally owned building has been vacant since 1992. We're asking Congress to put this building to good use by honoring women's remarkable contributions to our nation. NWHM is a non-partisan, non-profit educational institution dedicated to fostering a greater appreciation of how women have shaped our culture. Founded in 1996, NWHM has already generated unparalleled support and has presented rich and inspiring programs. Now we need a permanent home.

Why is your support so critical at this time?

To secure a permanent site in Washington, D.C., we will need the cooperation of several government entities. The U.S. Senate has already given its support for the use of the building. But before final approval is granted, we need to demonstrate to the House of Representatives that we have your support. You can help our efforts to secure this site by contacting your Congressional representatives. To do this, Click Here! or more information and to view a video to Congress narrated by Academy Award Winning Actress Meryl Streep, visit our Web site at: www.nwhm.org.

Supporting the efforts to acquire a permanent site near the National Mall in Washington, DC
Participating in communicating to increase the visibility of the respective national organizations and
Seeking new opportunities for collaboration.
