Dear John,
Last week, the Maryland State Senate and House of Delegates heard
testimony on the True Freedom Act of 2020.
This critical legislation will allow courts to review and remove
convictions from the records of human trafficking survivors for the
crimes they were forced to commit by their traffickers.
Far too often, these convictions for low-level crimes are a barrier
to employment, housing, and education — the very things needed to have
a productive and fulfilling life after escaping the horrors of human
trafficking.
HB 242 / SB 206 will help provide a small piece of relief that
these brave survivors need to move on with their lives. Please take a
minute to speak up for these victims.
Click the button below to contact your legislators and ask them to
vote YES on HB 242/SB 206.
Thank you for your support of victims of
human trafficking!
