In 2008, PROTECT fought hard in Virginia to win desperately-needed resources for law enforcement teams that "go back through the Internet" to catch child pornography traffickers and rescue their victims. Alicia's Law was a major victory, named for a brave PROTECT member and fighter Alicia Kozakiewicz, who at age 13 was rescued from an abductor in Virginia.

Virginia's two Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces didn't just talk about how they were going to use Alicia's Law money...they got to work. In the year since, dozens of children have been rescued from living nightmares, thanks to Alicia and thanks to PROTECT members like you.

But now Virginia has balanced its budget by slashing Alicia's Law!

The Governor and Legislature made a critical miscalculation, thinking they could rely on federal money that wasn't actually there.

Now there is only one man who can fix it: Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine. Alicia has already made a personal appeal to Gov. Kaine for help. Later today, she'll tell millions worldwide about her fight on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She'll be joined by PROTECT legislative director Camille Cooper.
