NEW COMPLAINT FILED: Shackling has been illegal in PA since 2010. The abuse inflicted on plaintiff Nicole Lane is unconscionable - and in violation of PA law, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. Full statement: www.womenslawproject.org/wp-content/u...

Our fight for gender justice in Pennsylvania is generations strong and powered by the people. Happy 55th to the PA ERA!
The Trump Admin has shut down the Office for Civil Rights office that oversaw ALL complaints from Pennsylvania students, leaving it to Pennsylvania to decide if the state is committed to protecting all students
Courts have historically imposed a high burden on peer sexual assault in schools - yet schools are the most common place where kids are abused
At the center of this case is a then-10th grader w/ severe intellectual disabilities who had a school safety plan. Then she was sexually assaulted by two students during gym class
Earning victories & changing history! Come celebrate this win & be part of the next! TIX: secure.qgiv.com/for/womensla...
