The Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, SNAP, is calling on attorneys general across the country to follow Pennsylvania’s lead and impanel grand juries to investigate church sex abuse.

“We’re calling for everyone to write to the AG and demand that he or she take action to protect our community and to protect our children,” said SNAP president Tim Lennon.

SNAP has launched a national campaign called Act Now, providing survivors and supporters with resources to reach out to their attorney general.

“We need to compel our politicians to act aggressively,” said Lennon. “We can’t have DA’s and AG’s who are intimidated or seduced by the power of a huge organization.”
