This is big! The Senate Commerce Committee just approved SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act)! Every member supported the markup of the proposed legislation...and you helped! Since Monday, EIE sent 8,170 online petition emails into the inboxes of every Senator on the Commerce Committee encouraging them to support SESTA!
What does this mean? This bi-partisan legislation was introduced to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) to help stop human trafficking and give victims legal recourse against those who have profited from their suffering and abuse -- including social media networks, advertisers and others who fail to keep exploitative materials off their platforms!
What happens next? Next, SESTA is off to the Senate Floor for a vote!
How can you help? If you haven't already, please, let Congress know you want SESTA passed. CLICK HERE TO SIGN THE LETTER TO THE ENTIRE U.S. SENATE NOW. Share this information with your friends and family. Let them know how very important it is for this legislation to pass!
If you have already done so, thank you for taking a stand against sex trafficking and for your support!
