Hello everyone! Thank you again for all of your support during this campaign. As we move forward, we wanted to send out a summary of our goals. Please continue to share with your friends so that we can collect as many signatures as possible before we meet with our North Carolina legislators. Thank you for fighting for freedom! The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA) was signed into law in 2015. JVTA included the section Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation (SAVE), but a contradiction in legislation provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) has affected enforcement of SAVE. Therefore, the campaign to #AmendCDA is concerned with amending section 230 of the 1996 law so that there is no confusion with the 2015 law. The proposed changes by ENC Stop Human Trafficking NOW are to eliminate a legal loophole in our legislation that allows websites to directly profit from advertisements of human trafficking and to enable law enforcement agencies on a non-federal level to investigate cases. This petition aims to bridge the gap between the protections that websites enjoy due to Section 230 of CDA of 1996 and the SAVE Act that was signed into law in 2015. On April 22, 2015 JVTA passed the Senate. 99 Senators voted in favor of the act (which included SAVE). You can see which senators supported JVTA here: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00163 The final roll call vote in the House regarding JVTA took place on May 19, 2015. 420 US Representatives voted in favor of JVTA (and SAVE). You can see which Representatives voted in favor of the act here: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll244.xml A reminder about SAVE: According to Rep. Ann Wagner's website (https://wagner.house.gov/notforsale), "The Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation (SAVE) Act criminalizes this behavior, thereby dramatically reducing the sexual victimization of vulnerable children in the United States. The SAVE Act is designed to close Internet marketplaces that host advertisements for the commercial sexual exploitation of women and children. The SAVE Act amends the federal criminal code’s “offenses” section to make it unlawful for Backpage and similar websites to knowingly distribute advertising that offers a commercial sex act in a manner prohibited under existing federal sex trafficking statutes. The protections included in the SAVE Act apply to two classes of victims: underage children and those who are being forced to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. This simple change has made it easier for law enforcement to prosecute those that facilitate sex trafficking by advertising the victims." Help us urge Congress to address this conflict in current legislation in order to prevent websites from knowingly profiting from these types of advertisements (which include child victims of sex trafficking). Thank you for your time and dedication in the fight for freedom!
