See #RollRedRoll in #Seattle : May 20th, May 28th, and May 29th!

Join director Nancy Schwartzman and #WAState Rep. Tina Orwall on Tuesday, May 28th at 6:30 pm at the SIFF Cinema Uptown in #Seattle for a panel discussion after the #RollRedRoll screening! 

In this infuriating but necessary documentary, a girl is raped by high-school football players—a crime discovered when they boast about it via texts and Twitter—and the town closes ranks to protect… yep, the players.

"The much-reported 2012 case of sexual assault in Steubenville, Ohio gets re-examined in a tough yet vital new film."—The Guardian

Subject: Please Pass 2SHB 1166 Out of Committee

Dear Members of the Senate Rules Committee:

I am writing to urge your support for 2SHB 1166, Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors, sponsored by Representative Tina Orwall.  I urge the Committee to pass 2SHB 1166 out of committee without delay.

The public safety imperative for enacting 2SHB 1166 is critical for Washington State.  With the enactment of 2SHB 1166, Washington State will further the critical advancement of our state’s ongoing rape kit reform campaign and begin to deliver long-delayed justice for all sexual assault survivors. With the enactment of 2SHB 1266, Washington State will further establish the potential for identifying DNA matches and identifying an untold number of serial rapists, thereby leading to the potential for indictments and prosecutions.  By passing 2SHB 1166 out of committee, Washington State will eliminate its rape kit backlog and establish a Survivors’ Bill of Rights. Passing 2SHB1166 out of committee will further advance a critical justice imperative for all survivors. These critical justice and public safety imperatives demand the continuation of Representative Orwall’s legislative rape kit reform campaign by passing 2SHB 1166 out of committee and enacting this vital legislation.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this critical legislation.  

Sincerely,
