| ACT NOW: Support Victims of Military Sexual Trauma |
 |
Because many sexual assaults go unreported or are not prosecuted, survivors often struggle to prove the sexual assault occurred, and thus cannot access the benefits they deserve. The Ruth Moore Act changes the standard so that survivor testimony is sufficient proof to access disability benefits for military sexual trauma. Send Congress a message: We must protect and serve the women who protect and serve the United States! |

| End Modern-Day Slavery by Reauthorizing the Trafficking Victims Protection Act |

WE DID IT! The protections included in the proposed Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act we advocated for during the 112th Session of Congress were included in the newly revised language of the Violence Against Women Act that was passed and signed into law during the 113th Session. Your messages were clear: we need strong laws to prevent trafficking, protect survivors and prosecute those responsible for these crimes. The work of Dreamers gets results!
