Representative Julia Letlow [LA-05],

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring are being denied justice, and your silence directly compounds their pain. Just days ago, these brave women held a press conference specifically calling on elected officials like you for truth and accountability. Your refusal to even acknowledge their existence sends a chilling message to every victim in Louisiana: powerful predators are protected here, while survivors are ignored.

Our foundational promise of equal justice is at stake. If this cover-up continues, it will permanently codify a two-tiered system where the well-connected escape consequences and the powerless are abandoned. By choosing to act, you can help dismantle this corruption and affirm that our laws apply to everyone. Your leadership can restore public trust and prove that the voices of victims matter more than the influence of powerful abusers.

The time for excuses is over. The survivors' press conference was a direct test of your leadership - a test you failed by choosing silence. Every second of that silence aligns you more closely with the predators and you now face a simple, defining choice: will you heed the desperate cries of victims and their families, or stay complicit in the cover-up demanded by the powerful? We call on you to stand with us - sign the discharge petition, co-sponsor the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and use your power to force a vote. End the cover-up.

Representative Letlow, the survivors have spoken. Before you shield the powerful any further, listen to those most devastated by their abuse:

"To be clear: The only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: Stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades." - Anouska de Georgiou

"Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, this does not matter. This is not about sides. You are an American, and you are a person who has chosen to serve in an elected position to stand up for those you represent, who cannot always stand up for themselves. We are those people. We are the Americans that you promised to protect." - Jena-Lisa Jones

"We are here. We want this bill to pass. It is very important, OK? And we need transparency. We are tired of looking at the news and seeing Jeffrey Epstein's name and saying that this is a hoax. We are tired of it." - Marina Lacerda

"Sometimes, it's hard to believe that I had to sue the United States just to learn that my abuser was given immunity. I started as Jane Doe, but I decided to -- I was proud enough to take on our country, and I was on the right side of history. We fought the government for 10 years to prove that the government violated our rights as crime victims and the crime victims' rights in order to protect a pedophile." - Courtney Wild

"We are not going away, we are not going to be quiet, and we are not going to give up. And I ask the American public to stand with us and not give up. At a time with record high levels of distrust in our institutions, and a perception that there are two Americas - one for those with power and privilege and one for everyone else, passing this Epstein Transparency Bill is one important step that can be taken to prove to Americans that the government does not side with sexual perpetrators." - Annie Farmer

"Today is the first time that I ever speak publicly about what happened to me. I never thought that I would find myself here. The only reason that I am here is because it feels like the people who matter in this country finally care about what we have to say. As an immigrant from Brazil, I feel empowered knowing that the little girl struggling to get by at 14 and 15 years old finally has a voice." - Marina Lacerda

"I plead to you, whether you're a dad, a mom, a brother or a sister, look your young ones in the face, look them in the eye, and tell them you didn't stand against the very people who raped, molested and preyed upon children and young women. Tell them you were willing to negotiate a deal. Money should never be what makes something right or wrong. If you vote no, your stance will be clear. You will be choosing to stand on the side of the rich and powerful, allowing money to buy your way out of the consequence." - Sky Roberts, brother of Virginia Roberts Giuffre

"This secrecy is not protection. It's complicity. And as long as the truth is buried, justice remains out of reach. That is why this bill matters." - Chauntae Davies

"I would like to announce here today: Us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world." - Lisa Phillips

Representative Letlow, we urge you to hear their cries, find your courage, and act. The world is watching.
