Elizabeth Phillips, the founder of the advocacy group No More Victims, continues to make significant strides in child protection legislation. As the executive director of the Phillips Foundation since 2013, she has dedicated her career to fighting against child sexual abuse and trafficking. This work became deeply personal after the tragic suicide of her younger brother, Trey, in 2019, who had suffered abuse at Kanakuk Kamps and was bound by a restrictive non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
In a landmark achievement, Elizabeth successfully passed “Trey’s Law” in 2025 in both Texas and Missouri, a legislation that prohibits NDAs designed to silence child victims of sexual abuse and trafficking. The law, which honors her brother, aims to protect future victims from similar fates. Elizabeth’s advocacy extends to camp safety as well, having led the Campaign for Camp Safety following the heartbreaking deaths of girls at Camp Mystic. Her efforts culminated in the passage of the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety and Youth CAMPER Acts in Texas, which establish vital regulations for summer camps.
As a certified crime victim advocate, Elizabeth has shed light on the long history of alleged abuse at Kanakuk and is working on a global scale to implement preventive measures and innovative treatment options for both survivors and offenders. In addition to her advocacy, Elizabeth is a devoted wife and mother of three, balancing her family life with her mission to bring about meaningful change for survivors and their families.
Elizabeth’s work is now gaining national attention, and her recent interview marks her first public discussion of her ongoing efforts and future plans. Her commitment to reform is not only empowering survivors but also fostering a brighter, safer future for children across the country.
