The family of murdered Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen is preparing to meet with President Trump Thursday to discuss a bill that would help prevent what happened to the 20-year-old from ever happening to anyone else.

The “#IAmVanessaGuillen” bill was authored by the Guillen family’s attorney, Natalie Khawam. It would provide a 1-800 number outside of the military for military members to report and file sexual harassment claims.

“I don’t know a person in the world that doesn’t think that this is the greatest thing on earth,” said Khawam. “Everybody thinks it’s time.”

The family of Vanessa Guillen is pushing for a phone line to be created outside of the military where soldiers being harassed can call.

Other victims of military sexual assault spoke out Wednesday on Capitol Hill, as the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee held its first hearing on Vanessa Guillen’s sexual harassment and murder.

Texas Congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee and Sylvia Garcia also spoke and conducted questioning at the hearing.

“One of the issues in the culture of the United States military overall is that they equate discipline and the toughness of the military with dealing differently with human need,” said Jackson Lee.

Mark Cuban and the president of the National Organization for Women are among the speakers joining in support of the new bill Thursday at the Capitol.
