Today at 2 p.m. ET, with Congress voting on releasing the Epstein files, we’re reminded of something that should be common decency, not a partisan issue: the absolute responsibility to protect children from the moment they are born.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about humanity. It’s about making sure no child is ever abused, trafficked, or exploited while powerful people hide in the shadows. It’s about standing with survivors whose lives have been permanently altered by something they never should have endured.
The devastation of childhood abuse doesn’t end when the news cycle moves on. Survivors carry that pain into adulthood, into their relationships, their trust, their sense of safety. The very least we can do is fight for transparency, accountability, and truth so that healing can begin and future harm can be prevented.
Releasing information that exposes networks of exploitation shouldn’t require debate. It should be the bare minimum of decency in a society that claims to care about children.
Today, let’s choose to stand together, for the children who need protection from birth, for the survivors who deserve justice, and for a future where government secrecy never outweighs safety, decency and doing what’s right.
