** TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT CHILDREN
------------------------------------------------------------
A key legislative priority at ECPAT-USA is the passage of the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act ([link removed]) . The EARN IT Act takes several steps to protect children from online sexual exploitation, including:
* The creation of a National Commission on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention. The Commission will be an important opportunity to have an official body that studies, discusses, and designs best practices to prevent and address child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online.

* Ending immunity for website platforms and social media companies with respect to child sexual abuse materials on their sites. This means that survivors could sue what the law calls interactive computer service providers (ICS), and criminal cases could be brought against the tech companies that facilitate CSAM online.

With bipartisan support, the EARN IT Act was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last July, and a companion bill was recently introduced in the House. This is a crucial time for this legislation, and we're calling on our supporters to contact their Congresspeople. Check out our website for more information about the EARN IT Act ([link removed]) . Here, you will find a sample letter you can use when asking your Senators to bring the bill to a full vote and urging your Representatives to get the bill through committees and to the floor.
