While we all celebrated International Day of the Girl on September 22nd, there is still much work to get done to make this day an official day of recognition. We are pleased to join our friends at Day of the Girl in pushing the Obama Administration in recognizing this day.

Please sign the petition here to join the movement, and if you are on Twitter, they've left behind some sample tweets to help get the word out! Feel free to copy, paste, and share!
