Lindsay Ann Burke Act

Congratulations to Rhode Island for enacting the Lindsay Ann Burke Act which will require that middle and high schoolers learn about teen dating violence.

But unfortunately, it always takes a death for people to do something...I hate being reactive instead of proactive. I hate it!!

Why must women and children continue to die?

I have been saying, and will continue to say, that if you want to have change, if you want to establish a movement, you have to utilize the youth. Teenagers are a powerful force that will continue to carry the movement forward. It is critical to include them.

I can't remember what I was taught about dating violence in school. I feel that the topic was covered, but the idea seemed so irrelevant to me.

Please make it relevant to our youth. Educate them so that they recognize the signs. Educate them so that this will stop. Please support this in your state.
