Mission: No Statute of Limitations on rape and carnal abuse crimes for all 50 states. Victims demand access to justice in the criminal & civil court processes
#Connecticut finally updated rape laws effective Fall 2019, however the state only brought the Statute of Limitations on #rape up to 20 years; a limit that many states’ SOLs were at decades ago. Since that time several states have or are seeking to remove SOLs on rape #CTleg#law
Finally. After all these years. The #Ohio legislature just voted to make it illegal to drug and rape your spouse
Activism works.

.@SenFeinstein was a longtime supporter of survivors and RAINN, championing watershed bills like the Violence Against Women Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act through Congress. We offer our deepest condolences to her family, colleagues, and staff.
Jury Verdict in E. Jean Carroll Rape and Defamation Lawsuit is a Big Win for Women's Rights | New legal narrative is set due to Adult Survivors Act and @ejeancarroll's persistence #MeToo#VAWG
This story is for idiots who think #Women don’t need the ERA. ERA would REQUIRE schools to treat sex-based harm under Title IX the same as race-based harm under Title VI. W/O ERA even Women’s civil rights can be treated differently & worse. @JoeBiden is currently blocking the ERA
In remembrance of the 20 children and 6 educators who were killed 10 years ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I am directing US and state flags in Connecticut lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2022. Our hearts will forever be with them. 🇺🇸💚
Ten years ago today, 20 children & six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary.
A decade later and school shootings are worse and active shooter drills are the norm.
Our children deserved better then and they still do now. We will never stop fighting for a safer future.
Today would be a good day for the Senate to #HonorWithAction. Please call your Senators @ 202-224-3121 to urge them to pass the assault weapons ban legislation to stop arming school shooters with AR15s. #SandyHook#BanWeaponsOfWar#EndGunViolence

We wholeheartedly support the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022, and we encourage senators to do the same.
Here's a breakdown of how it would impact college students and our work to end campus sexual violence.

The Senate introduction and passage of the #VAWA reauthorization will significantly increase funding for Sexual Assault Programs to keep pace with the need and demand for survivor services. We need a #VAWA4ALL!

Let's unpack the assumption that being a victim of sexual abuse somehow disqualifies your neutrality and competence as a juror - but not knowing about trauma and believing in rape myths don't.

Nope, this is not the law. 16 is too young.
This op-ed by @AlanDersh makes zero sense.
Epstein and Maxwell are both guilty of serious crimes.
