Fieldnotes: Blogging on UNICEF's child survival work in the field

	Martin Rendón Vice President, Public Policy and Advocacy

On November 5, the Global Day of Action on Cluster Munitions, we asked you to join with other organizations and concerned citizens around the country. That day, nearly 2,000 people called on their Senators to cosponsor legislation that would restrict the use and export of U.S. cluster bombs. These calls helped convince three more Senators to cosponsor the legislation!

UNICEF supporters were part of that important group of callers. If you’re reading this and you haven’t contacted your Senators – we still need to keep pushing for co-sponsors of S.594 and H.R. 1755, the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act, in order to convince Congress to pass this important legislation. See our advocacy page http://www.unicefusa.org/clustermunitions for more information.

Your voice can make a difference in changing policies to help children. Stay tuned for further advocacy opportunities.
