Lara speaking in front of the PA Judiciary Committee, May 5 2025
I posted this directly to Facebook on May 6, 2025 and it has been viewed 56K times. It's me telling my story in Harrisburg PA in front of the House Judiciary Committee. I want to make sure it's easily accessible to anyone anytime and does not get forgotten, especially as HB 464 goes in front of the PA Senate this fall. HB 464 (a window to give justice to child abuse victims) passed the Committee 15-11 and the House 138-64, but the Senate is the last hurdle. If you live there, call your representatives, please.
