Pass a Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Right in Texas.

The Issue

I'm calling on Texas to pass a Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights that will guarantee comprehensive rights for survivors including:

• The right to be notified of your rights in clear language
• The right to know your own medical information from your own rape kit
• The right not to have to pay for your own rape kit
• The right to a copy of your own police report Over forty states have backlogs in untested kits.

Some states do not cover the full medical expenses of a kit, leaving survivors to pay their own way towards justice. This is a crisis for 25 million survivors across America, and it's time for our legislators to do something about it.
