We’re heading to Albany
On May 3, CFCtoo will be joining forces with Rabbi David Ingber from Romemu and other proponents of child welfare to speak with New York State legislators on the importance of the CARE Act.
A few weeks ago, we asked the CFCtoo community what it would mean for them if the CARE Act was passed. Here are a few of their answers:
“Pastors would finally be held accountable for not reporting.”
“I would feel relief.”
“Safety, vindication, protection, peace, trust.”
“I would feel better about people I know who attend a church that covers up for abusers.”
“It would mean that other kids wouldn’t have to experience what I did.”
Let’s work together to pass the CARE Act and ensure that pastors and other faith leaders report child abuse.
