Our state and federal legislatures have the power to create and change laws that can reduce incidents of educator sexual abuse in our schools.Contact the state legislature

Our state and federal legislatures hold the power to provide adequate funding for training all school personnel, as well as our criminal justice system, about educator sexual abuse. Contact your federal representatives. Our governmental agencies decide which national issues need to be studied and choose the type of research projects that will be funded by government monies. Demand research into the impact of educator student sexual abuse!

Tell your state and federal legislators of your concern about educator sexual abuse. For information on addresses contact your local League of Women Voters association.

Inform and educate your legislators and their aides about educator sexual abuse prevention measures, treatment needs of its victims, justice and accountability issues relating to its perpetrators and their employing and credentialing institutions.
