Alison Arngrim, president of the National Association to Protect Children, emphasized the need for stronger legislation and regulatory oversight to protect children from exploitation and abuse in Hollywood. The organization has engaged with Congress and state lawmakers to draft tougher child protection laws, reflecting a proactive stance in safeguarding vulnerable communities.

The National Association to Protect Children has worked closely with Congressional leaders to author and support multiple federal laws aimed at enhancing child protection and victim support. The organization’s efforts include landmark legislation such as the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008 and other key reforms, with further initiatives planned for 2019.

Camille Cooper, Director of Government Affairs at National Association to PROTECT Children, praised Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz's role in reauthorizing the PROTECT Our Children Act, a key legislation aimed at enhancing law enforcement tools to combat online child exploitation.

In 2008, the National Association to Protect Children launched its fifty‐state campaign for 'Alicia’s Law' in partnership with Alicia Kozakeiwicz, the FOP, and the National Sheriffs Association. This initiative advocates for dedicated funding for ICAC Task Forces and supports legislative efforts that ensure law enforcement can investigate technology-facilitated crimes against children. The campaign has secured the passage of the bill in 15 states, contributing to thousands of child rescues annually.

Protect, officially incorporated as National Association to Protect Children – PROTECT, Inc., achieved significant legislative victories in eight state legislatures within its first three years. These wins underscore the organization's commitment to advocating for policies that safeguard children from abuse, exploitation, and neglect.
