Great News!!! The US Senate passed the Sexual Assault Survivor’s Bill of Rights in an unanimous consent. Thousands of hours, emails, phone calls, pledges, tears, memos and drafts came together to make history. Our nation is forever changed for millions of survivors of Sexual Assault. Today, we can declare that we no longer live in a country that accepts mistreatment of citizens when they are at their most vulnerable. We never could have done this without you — it was you who inspired us, who stood with us, and whose everlasting faith brought us to this moment.
Rise would like to thank to Senator Chuck Grassley, Rep Mimi Walters, Representative Zoe Lofgren and hundreds of bipartisan Members of Congress who stood by us every step of the way in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, but more than anything thank YOU for everything that you have done to take this dream and help us turn it into a reality.
Also Many of you have sent me correspondence regarding Kraigen Grooms’ Judge and possibly seeking impeachment. I have enclosed a link to a petition to unseat that judge below. The Justice system needs to treat rape like the terrible crime it really is. Please consider signing this.
Love Always!
