Elizabeth Phillips is a notable figure in the movement for child protection and survivor justice. She founded the organization No More Victims, which aims to influence child protection laws. Since 2013, she has also acted as the executive director of the Phillips Foundation, advocating for victims of abuse.
From Tragedy to Advocacy
Elizabeth’s passion for advocacy intensified after the tragic suicide of her younger brother Trey in 2019. His death followed years of childhood sexual abuse at Kanakuk Kamps, coupled with a restrictive Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that silenced his experiences. This painful loss motivated her to become a strong national voice for justice for survivors.
Legislative Achievements

- The law bans NDAs that inhibit the voices of child victims of sexual abuse and trafficking.
- It was named in honor of her brother, whose perpetrator is currently serving three life sentences.
Moreover, Elizabeth led the Campaign for Camp Safety following the tragic experiences of families who lost daughters at Camp Mystic. This effort culminated in the passage of the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety and Youth CAMPER Acts in 2025. These acts aim to establish fundamental safety regulations for summer camps across Texas.
