This new civil rights accelerator wants to train you to pass your first law
0
Rise Justice Labs’ Amanda Nguyen has helped pass a bill of rights for sexual assault survivors nationally and in 22 states. Now she wants to help others navigate the process.
Amanda Nguyen was 24 years old when the civil rights bill she created–the Sexual Assault Survivor Bill of Rights–unanimously passed the Senate and House and became law in 2016. Nguyen, who survived rape as a student at Harvard, has now helped organizers pass similar laws in 22 states. In a new accelerator called Rise Justice Labs, she’s now supporting activists who want to pass laws about other issues, beginning with a coalition of gun control advocates led by the brother of one of the victims of the Parkland shooting.
