Relentless
Coming 2026
Survivors lose at every turn. There is nothing about this that isn’t a heavy lift on victims’ voices. And so I thought, well, my brother is in heaven. He’s whole and healed. Who’s going to speak for him and for other victims because of these NDAs? So that was the journey over time. If not me, then who?

About Elizabeth
Elizabeth C. Phillips is the founder of No More Victims, an advocacy organization that passes child protection laws in the U.S. As a certified crime victim advocate, Elizabeth works on cases involving child sexual abuse, trafficking, and institutional negligence. Her investigative work into abuse within youth-serving institutions has received national recognition, including contributing to a Vice News story that earned an Emmy Award in 2022. In 2025, Elizabeth helped lead the passage of Trey’s Law in Texas and Missouri in honor of her late brother who was silenced to his grave by Kanakuk Ministries with an NDA (nondisclosure agreement) after suffering over a decade of child sexual abuse under care of their summer camps and other programs. Trey’s Law, which prohibits the misuse of NDAs against sexual assault victims, has since been filed in Alabama and Oklahoma.
Phillips was appointed as the Executive director of Phillips Foundation in 2013, which has launched programs and partnerships such as the Healthy Relationships Initiative, Give As We Grow, the Child Safeguarding Lab, and is a cofounder of the Safe Childhoods Initiative – among other investments in education, early childhood and foster youth.
Most recently, Elizabeth helped lead the Campaign for Camp Safety with a coalition of parents who lost their daughters (“Heaven’s 27”) in the Camp Mystic floods on July 4, 2025. That work led to the passage of the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act and Youth CAMPER Act in Texas, setting a precedent for the strongest state safety standards for summer camps nationally.
Through writing, advocacy and philanthropy, Elizabeth continues to turn pain into purpose – working to ensure a safe and bright future for all children. She is currently the board chair of The Dallas Foundation and has served as a board member or trustee for UNC Greensboro, Mission Investors Exchange, the National Center for Family Philanthropy, the SMU Maguire Center for Ethics, and the Rebecca Bender Initiative, along with many other nonprofit roles and affiliations.
We know how healing happens. It's by sharing your story in safe places, finding support and solidarity.
