Every 98 seconds, another American experiences sexual assault. It is a growing dilemma all over the world, and while there have been many conversations about star civilians and their scandals, very few discuss sexual assault cases within our armed forces. There have been mishandling all over our militaries. I would like to propose more transparency about sexual assault in the military and more awareness. I would also like the support for H.R. 5940: Military Sexual Assault Transparency and Accountability Act which would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a report on victims in military criminal investigative organization reports, and for other purposes. Thank you for your support and please help me with my civic action project.

I have been reading through the messages you all are sending and the stories of those who served are heartbreaking. This push for transparency is about holding the military accountable for the people they failed. I am currently preparing to present our case to the representatives who can actually back this bill.

Seeing this momentum grow brings me peace because I know others finally recognize the pain my friends endured in silence for far too long. This movement is proving that we refuse to let these stories stay hidden in the shadows any longer.

I believe in transparency and accountability in all sexual assault cases, but remember, the alleged victim has the right at anonymity. Having said that, you must also remember that the alleged suspect has the right to Due Process under the law. We all saw the dilemma caused in the absence of Due Process in the recent nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, to the U.S. Supreme Court. Wild accusation's, fueled by the media, took precedence over the rule of law, which states that the alleged accused is presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Good luck with your project.

Too many people just look the other way. This needs to stop now.
