CPAC Center for Combating Human Trafficking Celebrates First Year Progress |
Just a year ago, CPAC embarked on a new journey to bring light and a conservative prospective in the fight to end modern day slavery. After years of neglect at the southern border and a crime wave that rocked communities across the nation, the scourge of sex and labor trafficking became rampant across our great country.
After being approached to host the screening premiere of the movie Sound of Freedom, CPAC founded the Center for Combating Human Trafficking with a commitment to inform and spread awareness of this issue and solutions that would free victims from a life of abuse . Following the success of our launch, CPAC co-hosted an International Summit to End Human Trafficking on Capitol Hill, bringing together political leaders from the United States and Mexico to discuss the challenges facing our respective countries.
Our Center was once again called to Congress in the subsequent weeks, this time to testify at the House Judiciary Committee at a hearing on Children are Not for Sale: Examining the Threat of Exploitation of Children in the U.S. and Abroad.
Educating the public and lawmakers about this growing problem was just the start, as our Center focused resources and advocacy in both State legislatures and Congress to move meaningful legislation that protects victims and holds traffickers accountable. That effort bore significant results, with CPAC supporting legislation that passed in five states while shepherding through a Federal law with Senator Blackburn (R-TN) that holds tech companies accountable for their role in allowing abuse.
Now we are coming back to Capitol Hill for our Second International Summit to not only reflect on our progress, but plan for the next steps in policy that will finally bring an end to the scourge of trafficking. You can join us for this vital convening at CPAC.org/Summit. |
House Republicans Pass SAVE Act, Champion Election Integrity |
Two landmark bills came out of the House of Representatives in this week's legislative session. The U.S. House passed the SAVE Act, H.R. 8281, by a vote of 221-198 on Wednesday, now requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Nearly every Democrat voted against the bill (5-198), and President Biden has promised to veto the bill.
A similar split along party lines occurred in the passing of H.J. Resolution 165 that blocks President Biden's Title IX rewrite, which puts biological men into girls' sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. House Republicans pushed the joint resolution, which uses the power of the Congressional Review Act to block President Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX that redefines sex to include “gender identity,” over the finish line by a vote of 210-205.
We agree with Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) and House GOP that biological men should not be allowed in girls’ sports and locker rooms!
Thank you Chip Roy (R-TX), Mary Miller (R-IL) and the House GOP for passing these bills through the House. |
CPAC to Host Second Annual International Summit Against Human Trafficking |
CPAC’s Center for Combating Human Trafficking is thrilled to announce we are hosting the 2nd Annual International Summit Against Trafficking on Tuesday, July 23rd on Capitol Hill alongside our partners at the Kaleido Charity. This event brings together elected officials from Mexico, Argentina, El Salvador, Brazil, and the United States to discuss the challenges facing our respective countries in combating both sex and labor trafficking.
This year's conference will focus on finding solutions that will encourage collaboration between law enforcement and other agencies, support victims, and most importantly hold traffickers accountable. The Biden’s Administration's blatant disregard for securing our border has led to an explosion in criminal traffickers pouring into the United States. That is why last year CPAC stepped up in the fight to end modern day slavery, founding the Center for Combating Human Trafficking and hosting the First Annual International Summit. The 2024 International Summit Against Human Trafficking is a widely attended event and complimentary to attend and will be held next Tuesday, July 23 at the U.S. Capitol. |
