The Polaris Post

Dear John, 

Thank you for being part of our community. As part of this movement, you’re contributing to real impact, whether reaching victims and survivors contacting the National Human Trafficking Hotline, or advocating for survivor criminal records relief in Congress. 

Please read on for the latest updates on our special match opportunity for the Hotline, progress on the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act, and more — as well as how you can help. We also hope you’ll forward The Polaris Post to others who share your values. 

Together, we’ll create a world where everyone is free to choose how and where they live and work.

​​​We are so grateful to the 140 supporters who have already given generously to help victims and survivors contacting the National Human Trafficking Hotline. ​​

We rely on your contributions to ensure we can respond to needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Through the end of the month, a special match means every $1 you give becomes $2 to keep offering help and hope through the Hotline. Please partner with us today!  

Not only do we have more co-sponsors for the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act (TSRA) in the House of Representatives, but a companion bill has also been introduced in the Senate!  

Now it’s all systems go — and the more co-sponsors we secure, the faster we may be able to pass the TSRA to ensure that criminalized survivors have the chance to clear their records. Please ask your Members of Congress to co-sponsor and pass the TSRA today!

Want to understand how Polaris creates change and what makes our approach unique?

Go behind the scenes in a new interview with Polaris CEO Catherine Chen. 

The conversation is part of a series for the Solutions Insights Lab, a partnership between the Skoll Foundation and the Solutions Journalism Network. The initiative shares successful systems change models from dozens of social entrepreneurs — and Polaris is proud to lend our learnings to this knowledge base.​​​​

That’s why we’ve started the Polaris Resilience Fund and advocated for laws like the Debt Bondage Repair Act.

It’s also the reason we’ve partnered with trusted allies who offer valuable resources we can share with Resilience Fund participants, those who contact the Hotline, and other survivors in our network. Read about these resources in our latest blog.
