And last, but not least, we are eternally grateful to @JSchwikert, @Alyssa_Baumann_, and @TashaSchwikert for testifying on this legislation with such strength and moral clarity. We thank you and stand with you. #txlege
Texans owe a huge debt of gratitude to @TashaSchwikert, @JSchwikert, & @Alyssa_Baumann_. As they explained powerfully to #txlege today, there's no sex abuse prevention without institutional accountability.
@JSchwikert said Texas lawmakers have a moral duty to hold accountable institutions like the Olympics Gymnastics that do not intervene and instead perpetuate the cycle of abuse. #txlege
We heard from some extraordinary young women today who spoke on behalf of HB 3809 to ensure survivors of child sexual abuse can seek justice. They embody strength and courage. Thank you to @TashaSchwikert@JSchwikert@Alyssa_Baumann_#txlege#MeToo
In sharing my story, I hope to help other victims of sexual abuse heal. I am so inspired by those who have come before me and together we can enact real change in the culture of @USAGym and @TeamUSA
I don’t want another child to go through what I went through. That’s why, today I am saying #MeToo and joining fellow gymnasts to help ensure another Larry Nassar can never happen again. #TimesUp@USAGym and @TeamUSA
