On Monday, we’ll be having conversations at the Capitol about the need to improve Minnesota’s child protection system. A victim of child abuse himself, Representative Jim Nash is the author of one of several bills we support.
“There were a lot of nights that I would pray for someone to come and save me. And no one came. …We’re going to save a lot of heartache and we’re going to save a lot of damage in life, and we’re going to make it so that people don’t have to go through the same things that I went through for 17 years,” he said.
His bill (HF 4793) would prohibit schools and other organizations from having policies that prevent or discourage people from making a call to CPS.
It’s not too late to join our Day at the Capitol on April 8 from 1-4 p.m. If you can’t make it in person, we can schedule a short Zoom meeting that fits into your schedule. We’ll provide training and answer any questions you may have.
If we don’t speak up for kids, who will?
