John,

I’m honored to share big news with you in our shared fight to end human trafficking.

We’ve launched the Polaris Resilience Fund! It offers survivors of sex and labor trafficking the chance to restore what traffickers stole: control over their own lives.

This first-of-its-kind program gives direct cash assistance to help survivors start rebuilding. It’s a no-bureaucracy, guaranteed basic income program — a model proven to strengthen financial security and stability.

The Resilience Fund expands the direct support we offer to victims and survivors — and has survivor-leaders at its helm serving as the director and on the Advisory Council.

Now, YOU’RE NEEDED to make it a life-changer.

Will you give today, as an ally to survivors?

Until August 31, a special match will DOUBLE your impact. Every $1 you give becomes $2 to help meet survivors’ urgent needs.

Often, a survivor breaks free from their trafficker — but they aren’t free to truly thrive. 

Many survivors escape trafficking and are ready to reclaim their lives — but they’re dealing with trauma, uncertainty, and enormous stress. Without time to heal, time to plan, or time to rest, they’re confronted with needing to cover rent, food, transportation, and child care. Without insurance or cash, many have unmet mental health needs.

By supporting Polaris and the Resilience Fund, your generosity can help:

• Provide individual survivors up to $500/month, for up to 18 months, to meet their most urgent needs as they heal and rebuild hope.

• Support survivors by removing barriers to a fresh start, such as bad credit and criminal records.

• Reduce human trafficking by supporting survivors who are most vulnerable to re-trafficking.

In the past, survivors were mostly left on their own to scrape by. In the past, this meant many survivors would be re-trafficked to survive.

Now, the Resilience Fund is a new solution. I hope you’ll choose to become part of it TODAY with your gift.

P.S. Remember, your gift will be MATCHED until August 31 — doing twice as much to help survivors meet urgent needs.
