It takes a small group of people - 2009 Child Victims Act of New York

The photograph below is part of the group of adult survivors of child sexual abuse (and those who care about them) who went Albany, NY in hopes of helping to pass the 2009 Child Victims Act of New York. The group was made up of Jewish, Catholic and Buddhist Survivors. Groups represented include: The Awareness Center (the international Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Assault/Abuse), New York Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NYCASA), New York Coalition to Protect Children, SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priest) and Survivors For Justice.


Pictured above includes Joel Engelman, Mark Weiss, Joe Diangelo, Peggy Cashman, Tim Echausse, Vicki Polin, and Rabbi Nochem Rosenberg. Several others left prior to the photograph being taken.
