New partnerships made during awareness month. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]National Human Trafficking Awareness Month

The spotlight shined on sex and labor trafficking in January always makes for an
exciting month at Polaris but this year may have topped them all - thanks to
many of you. You posted, you pledged, and you made your voices heard. Our
partners in the business world also stepped up in ways that truly matter to
victims and survivors. Some examples include Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and
Choice Hotels donating safe places to stay; ArcBest spreading the world about
the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline; and Delta and Southwest continuing
to make it possible for survivors to soar - literally and figuratively. And many
more! We are grateful. We couldn’t do it without all of you



[[link removed]]Coming Soon: North Star Guide Campaign!

We’re looking to secure 75 new North Star Guides and need your help! North Star
Guides make monthly gifts to Polaris so that we can reshape the systems that
make sex and labor trafficking possible and profitable. Starting February 18, a
generous donor will add an additional $200 to the first monthly gift for new
North Star Guides, up to a total of $15,000!


[[link removed]]Paypal, Polaris team up

Human trafficking is motivated by profit - which means to find traffickers, you
start by following the money. That’s the idea behind Polaris’s new Financial
Intelligence Unit, an innovative partnership launched in January with PayPal
that will sharpen the tools available to anti-money laundering investigators and
make it harder for traffickers to hide their crimes.

[[link removed]]Fighting with technology

Migrant workers, particularly those laboring in remote regions far from friends
and family, are particularly vulnerable to labor trafficking. Working with
technology partner Ulula, Polaris is pioneering ways to reach those workers to
learn from them and to give them a safe way to get help.

[[link removed]]Bill of Rights

Domestic workers have been left out of virtually every major federal labor
protection law. That fact, coupled with isolated, informal working conditions
make this workforce very vulnerable to labor trafficking. It is time to give the
nannies, house cleaners, and home health aides who help busy families manage
their lives the respect and the protection they deserve.
