The Organization
Operation Child Shield is a public charity that publishes a neutral record of how Congress votes on child safety, anti-abuse, and anti-trafficking legislation. We do not rank members or endorse candidates.
What we do
- Track bills that protect children from exploitation and trafficking.
- Show how elected officials voted or abstained on those bills.
- Compare recorded floor votes to board-adopted policy positions.
- Make it easy to write Congress and share the public record.
Mission
Children depend on adults to protect them. We give the public clear information about which child-protection bills are moving, how members voted or sat out, and how to press Congress for stronger anti-exploitation protections.
