When Americans have a special interest they are serious about, they spare no expense to defend it. In 2010, special interests spent over $19 million per day on lobbyists.*

But there have never been deep pockets sending lobbyists to defend the most important "special interest" of all: abused and exploited children.

That's why PROTECT was created. Since 2002 we've been on the front lines in state legislatures and in Washington, fighting aggressively for the protection of children, with a small staff, a modest budget and a growing army of volunteers. PROTECT, a sister organization to the National Association to Protect Children, is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.
