John,

We did it! 

Thanks to your calls and emails to Members of Congress, we have stopped H.R. 2601 from going to the House floor for a vote this session. 

And while we do not know how many of you called Congress to tell them to vote NO on H.R. 2601, we do know that 638 of you sent letters to your Members of Congress via our TAKE ACTION page! 

But the fight is not over. Congress could still decide to vote on the bill in 2024, so we need your voice — and your contributions — to sustain this fight! 

Human traffickers often threaten victims and their families if someone contacts law enforcement — regardless of who calls. 

The National Human Trafficking Hotline Enhancement Act (H.R. 2601) would require the Hotline to turn over information shared by the public to law enforcement, whether the victim consents to this action or not.

Because of this danger, the bill puts the safety and security of victims and survivors of human trafficking at risk. 

The Hotline already complies with mandated reporting laws about children and reports credible tips where it is clear someone is unable to get help for themselves. 

We believe that law enforcement is an essential partner in this fight. While the bill is well-intentioned, victims of human trafficking must control when to involve law enforcement in their trafficking situations. No other anti-violence hotlines are expected to violate survivors' privacy and safety in this way. 

Trust in the Hotline is crucial for victims seeking assistance, and this bill would break that trust. We know this because survivors have told us. And we've listened. 

And because of YOU, Congress has listened, too. At least for now...

THANK YOU for taking action and standing with survivors. 

P.S. If you donate now, a generous donor will match your contribution. Please help resource the fight for the Hotline by making a matched contribution today!
