Two big wins we want to acknowledge today!
Governor Newsom signed a law called the Protecting our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act (SB 976).
This privacy protection for teens, addresses addictive practices by social media companies, and restricts companies from sending notifications to teens during school and late night hours.
The Trafficking Survivors Relief Act passed through the US House Judiciary Committee and is on it’s way to the US Senate.
From the Polaris Project: Survivors of human trafficking are often criminalized for situations stemming from their trafficking experiences. Having a criminal record – even an arrest record without a conviction – can make it harder or virtually impossible for survivors to secure jobs, rent apartments, or even coach their children’s sports teams. If enacted, the TSRA would provide the first-ever pathway for criminalized survivors of human trafficking to clear their federal criminal records. Passing this bill would make a historic step forward in protecting victims and survivors of trafficking at the federal level.
