We fight for survivors, demand transparency from school districts that protect abusers, and draft real legislation to close the gaps that put Texas children at risk.
Shield & Voice is a Texas-based child protection and survivor advocacy platform. We hold school districts accountable when they shield accused or convicted educators. We draft real legislation. We amplify survivors. We don't stop.
When institutions stay silent, we don't. When systems fail children, we document it, publish it, and fight to change it.
"Silence protects abusers. Transparency protects children."— Sunni Sproles, Founder
Every action, every bill, every post is evaluated by one standard: does it make a child safer today?
Survivors lead this work. We create space for their voices and fight for systems that believe, support, and protect them.
We use the Texas Public Information Act, legislative advocacy, and public accountability to force institutions to answer for their failures.
We name names. We publish records. We show up. This isn't comfortable work — it's necessary work.
From the Capitol to local school boards, here's where Shield & Voice is showing up.
We draft and advocate for real bills in the Texas Legislature — protecting child witnesses, ensuring independent prosecution of abuse cases, and guaranteeing speedy trials for child victims.
Texas CapitolUsing the Texas Public Information Act, we investigate and expose school districts that conceal or minimize misconduct by educators accused or convicted of harming children.
Public RecordsWe give survivors a public platform to share their stories, access resources, and connect with advocates who understand the legal and emotional terrain they face.
SupportThrough social media, community organizing, and direct action, we apply public pressure on institutions that fail children or retaliate against those who speak up.
AwarenessCommunity members can submit confidential tips about suspected misconduct. We investigate, document, and act — or connect tips to the right authorities.
Community IntelWe equip parents with tools to research educators, know their rights under Texas law, and take action when districts aren't forthcoming about the safety of their children.
EducationThese bills were researched, drafted, and championed by Sunni Sproles through Shield & Voice. They represent real gaps in Texas law that leave children vulnerable.
Establishes legal protections for child witnesses in criminal proceedings, including trauma-informed interview standards, shield provisions, and alternative testimony methods to reduce re-traumatization while preserving defendants' constitutional rights.
Requires independent prosecutors — separate from local DA offices — in cases where institutional conflicts of interest may compromise the prosecution of child sexual abuse crimes, particularly when educators, coaches, or district employees are accused.
Mandates expedited trial timelines for cases involving child sexual abuse victims, reducing the psychological harm caused by prolonged legal proceedings and improving case outcomes for survivors and their families.
