🚨ICYMI: The Protecting America's Children by Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 9076) now LAW!! 🚨
Thanks to strong bipartisan support, the bill secured year-end passage in the U.S. Senate and was signed into law by the President last weekend. congress.gov/bill/118th-cong…
We thank the bipartisan Congressional champions whose leadership made this possible, including Reps. @RepJasonSmith (R-MO), @RepLaHood (R-IL), @RepRichardNeal (D-MA), and @RepDannyDavis and Sens. @RonWyden (D-OR), @MikeCrapo (R-ID), @JohnCornyn (R-TX), and @SenatorBennet (D-CO).
Think of Us applauds the U.S. Senate for unanimously passing the bipartisan Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act (SICAA). The bill is a crucial first step in bringing oversight and data transparency to institutional settings for youth.
Thank you to all the advocates and lived experts for their tireless advocacy and commitment to young people who are in and have experienced institutional care.
Thank you to Senators @JohnCornyn, @SenJeffMerkley, and @TTuberville for their work on this bill to lay the groundwork for future reforms.
And thank you to @ParisHilton and the 11:11 Media Media team for introducing this bill and their partnership with lived experts!
