#stopinstitutionalchildabuseact
Tonight I joined Kaitlan Collins on CNN to share why I dropped everything to come to Capitol Hill and urge the House to pass the #StopInstitutionalChildAbuseAct. This bill will protect children from the same physical, emotional, and sexual abuse I endured as a teen in a residential treatment facility. I brought my son Phoenix with me—because this fight is about creating a safer world for him and for every child. 💔 The Senate has already passed this bill unanimously. Now it’s time for the House to act. Too many children’s lives are at stake. #StopInstitutionalChildAbuse

I am calling on all members of Congress to co-sponsor the #StopInstitutionalChildAbuseAct and asking for CathyMcMorrisRodgers Energy and Commerce Committee committee to include SICAA in a hearing and markup ASAP. Every day that no action is taken, another child is abused, neglected, or dies in the name of 'treatment.' Thank you to the 130+ members supporting and our dedicated sponsors Senator Jeff Merkley Senator John Cornyn Ro Khanna Buddy Carter House Democrats House Republicans Senate Republicans Senate Democrats Senate HELP Committee GOP HELP Committee Dems

Today marks one year since we introduced the federal bipartisan #StopInstitutionalChildAbuseAct to Congress 💖 This was one of the most impactful days of my life as I never thought I would be standing on the steps of the Capitol being the hero I needed when I was locked in solitary confinement at Provo Canyon School 💔 We have made so much progress on this bill and I am deeply grateful to the Sponsors Congressman Rep. Ro Khanna, Congressman Buddy Carter, Senator Senator Jeff Merkley, and Senator Senator John Cornyn as well as the over 130+ Legislators who are co-sponsoring SICCA. Legislation to protect children's lives shouldn't take so long to vote on but I am really hopeful it will get passed soon. I need you all to keep putting pressure on the House and Senate and tell them this is important to you by texting GOSICAA to 50409. I won't stop fighting for these kids, please don't stop too #ISeeYouSurvivor #ChildAbusePreventionMonth
