PROTECT is a national pro-­‐child, anti-­‐crime membership association founded on the belief
that our first and most sacred obligation as parents, citizens, and members of the human species
is the protection of children from harm. Protect and its members are committed to building a powerful,
nonpartisan force for the protection of children from abuse, exploitation and neglect. Members believe
that this must be done through a determined single-­‐issue focus, a meaningful mainstream agenda
and the use of proven modern political strategies.
