Tell Congress: Stop Child Marriage in the US!
Members of Congress
Thousands of children are married in the US every year. These children are usually girls — sometimes as young as 12 — and are usually married to adult men. They often face physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Congress should protect our children by making these marriages illegal nationwide.

Dear members of Congress: Every year, tens of thousands of minors in the US are married, usually to adults. Most of these children are girls who are married to adult men, and they face high rates of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. We should be protecting these children from abuse, not sanctioning it! 6 states (DE, MN, NJ, NY, PA, and RI), have already banned marriages under the age of 18 — please move to ban these marriages across the country.
