USA: Write your congress members about Klobuchar’s SHIELD Act

Write or Call In CampaignUSA: Write your congress members about Klobuchar’s SHIELD Act

Posted July 11, 2024 by somegenerichandle in Activism

according to Chuck Schumer:

This is important: This Senate has passed @SenAmyKlobuchar’s SHIELD Act that makes it illegal to share private, sexually explicit, or nude images without consent.

This will provide legal protections for survivors of abuse to hold their exploiters accountable.

I'll update if i find more articles about this. But now it the time to write your Congress members!

an intimate visual depiction of an individual with knowledge of the individual's lack of consent, where what is depicted was not voluntarily exposed by the individual in a public or commercial setting, and where what is depicted is not a matter of public concern; or a visual depiction of a nude minor with the intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, or degrade the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

I doubt the GOP will let it pass, but thank you for the heads up. Will write my senators and congressman to express my support.

o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.

The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.

Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.

Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.

Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!

This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.

The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
