Actress Alison Arngrim lives in the heart of millions of Americans for her portrayal of “Nellie Oleson” in the television series “Little House on the Prairie.”

But children live in Alison's heart too.

Alison is making an amazing, noble personal sacrifice. She has come forward to tell the world about the sexual abuse she suffered as a young child and the impact this has had on her life. Anyone who knows the funny, razor-smart, always well-balanced Alison Arngrim knows that she is speaking out for one reason only: to draw attention to the suffering of other children and to further PROTECT's fight for kids.

You can read Alison's recent California Senate testimony on our California Campaign page. We'll also keep you updated about her public statements and ongoing efforts in California and across the nation.

We are proud of Alison, who is a founding National Advisory Board member of PROTECT. If you have been moved by her story or her passionate defense of children, please join Alison in this fight. You can join and financially support PROTECT online or through the mail and help us make the world safer for children… one battle at a time!
