Dear John,

In times of uncertainty, human traffickers continue to operate and exploit their victims. That's why, as COVID-19 escalated, Polaris acted quickly and moved the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline to remote operations while continuing to assist victims without interruption.

I'm excited to announce a special opportunity to make your inaugural gift to Polaris. An anonymous family foundation has made a contribution to Polaris and has extended a challenge to you. Make a gift of your own today and it will be matched three times, up to $100,000!

The deadline to participate in this challenge is July 30th, World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. This day brings global attention to the issue of sex and labor trafficking and the urgent need to end it.

Do your part in the fight to end human trafficking.

John, let me be candid with you. As the nation begins to reopen, we can expect to see an increase in exploitation and trafficking of vulnerable populations like low wage essential workers such as cleaners, agricultural laborers, and meatpackers. For people in dire economic conditions, traffickers will find ways to keep them trapped in these situations.

With your support, Polaris will keep working to change the systems and injustices that enable trafficking to flourish, like racism, oppression, and violence against women. We'll continue to connect victims and survivors to emergency shelter, health care, and other services. The time to act is now.

Remember, your first gift will be tripled in honor of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. If you're able to, please don't wait to make a donation to Polaris and make your first gift a special one.

Thank you for your generosity and helping light the path to freedom.

Sincerely,
Signature

Nancy McGuire Choi
Interim CEO
