I am so proud to share that my bill The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act passed the U.S Senate unanimously today!! All 100 Senators stood for protecting children in youth residential treatment facilities and I couldn’t have dreamed of a more powerful moment to be able to impact the system that harmed me. I am still in shock that my lived-experience, among the powerful survivor community, has been able to impact meaningful progress and change for the next generation of survivors. We still need this bill to get passed in the U.S House of Representatives to be signed by President Biden but WE ARE SO CLOSE! I am so grateful for the leadership of @SenSchumer who has supported my initiative from the beginning, and to my bill sponsors @SenJeffMerkley and @JohnCornyn who I have had the honor to get to know personally and who have been the most dedicated, efficient, and collaborative bipartisan lawmakers. I am so lucky to have met you and to have worked with you on this!
