The Polaris Post

Dear John, 

Summer is well underway, but we aren’t taking a break! Thank you for your partnership, which enables us to keep responding to the needs of victims and survivors while delivering research, intelligence, and campaigns to change the systems that enable trafficking.

In this month’s installment, you’ll see the latest updates on the Polaris Resilience Fund and our data efforts, plus a new resource about the National Human Trafficking Hotline and tools to assist you in your own planning and giving. We hope you’ll forward this 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.

The Polaris Resilience Fund is continuing monthly disbursements to its inaugural cohort of survivors,

It's helping them take back exactly what their traffickers stole — control over their own lives and the opportunity to thrive.

Earlier this summer, CEO Catherine Chen shared the latest updates in Imago Dei Fund’s blog. Thanks to Imago Dei Fund for their founding investment in the Resilience Fund and the opportunity to share about its impact.

To do this more efficiently and effectively, we are working with several technology companies to build our capacity.

For last month’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, our partner Palantir featured us in a blog about our collaboration. Check it out for a deep dive into our data vision and approach! 

To get ahead of frequently asked questions about the National Human Trafficking Hotline, Polaris has released a Hotline-specific media guide.

In it, you’ll see familiar information about what trafficking is and how to center victims and survivors, along with more targeted content on the Hotline’s operations and data.

Please share this guide with your networks to help spread an accurate understanding of trafficking and how the Hotline responds! 

By creating your will this month, you can get peace of mind for the future, protect your family, and even support survivors on their journeys to freedom.

Because nearly 67% of American adults don’t have a will, we’re sharing this free, online will-writing tool — so that 100% of our community can protect the people and causes they love.
