1/3🧵NJ lacks a law for incest after a child reaches 18.

Aziza’s Law A2158 needs an official Senate counterpart in the New Jersey Legislature.

Activists, led by survivor Aziza Kibibi, call on the public to contact state senators to sponsor the matching legislation.

A 12-year old raped by her father has probably been repeatedly sexually abused by him for yrs & wouldn't even know that she has a choice.

She's been groomed to be abused.

These cult folks have no idea what they are talking about.

➕ NJ lacks a law to help them.

Fighting Policy Fatigue: It's exhausting tracking every legislative threat, but macro advocacy is our ethical mandate. The systems we fight—housing crises, healthcare cuts—are created by policy. Stay informed, stay active. 🏛️

Policy is Therapeutic: While we focus on micro-level healing, remember that a policy win (like securing housing funding or passing an anti-poverty bill) can provide relief that no single therapy session can achieve. Macro practice is primary prevention. 🏛️
