There is No Excuse for Police Sexual Abuse

Today we speak out against bill that co-opts the issue of police sexual violence and is a threat to the safety of our members. SB43 will literately legalize sexual misconduct against sex workers.

Police sexual violence is structural violence. We must dismantle the systems that facilitate and hide sexual assault and misconduct. The reforms proposed by the Maryland Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability are what all survivors of police violence need.

There is no excuse for police sexual abuse! While activists and advocates are working toward real police accountability a deceiving one-off bill was quietly making its way through the legislative process. The bill claims to expand the law that prohibits police sex, but would literally legalize it for those most at risk, sex workers.

On this Veterans Day, we'd like to lift up the important work of Service Women's Action Network. SWAN is the leading U.S. organization that focuses on gender-specific needs and issues faced by women in the U.S. military. They challenge institutions and cultural norms that deny equal opportunities, protections and benefits to service members and veterans. SWAN addresses the pervasive problems of sexual assault and military sexual trauma in the United States Armed Force by advocating for better victims’ protections and increasing individual and institutional accountability.

. @j_robarge of OSI grantee @PowerInsideBalt: "We urge legislators to embrace HB 411’s survivor-focused version that protects women like Jada and reject SB 43’s preferential treatment for law enforcement officers who commit sexual crimes under color of law"

Please pass #HB411 with NO amendments. Sexual misconduct violates civil rights. #SB43 is a step backward. States like FL don't make exceptions for on duty sex with suspects witnesses & victims #MDGA21 #MDPolitics @ShanekaHenso @JonCardin @guyton42b @marlonamprey @DelegateKaiser

Thank you for standing with survivors of police sexual misconduct. Please pass #HB411 with NO amendments. #SB43 assumes prior sex is current consent. If we excluded survivors now we'll never hear their voice. #MDGA21 #MDPolitics @VAtterbeary @EmilyShetty @WanikaFisher

Please pass #HB411 with NO amendments. Sexual misconduct is a civil rights violation by federal law. #SB43 assumes prior sex is current consent. There's no such thing as official sex, there should be no exception. #MDGA21 #MDPolitics @JheanelleW @LCharkoudian
