[[link removed]]Dear John,

Happy new year! 2020 was a long, challenging year for many, which is why I am so
proud of the Polaris community. You came together at a time when it mattered
more than ever, to support survivors of human trafficking and to prevent more
people from facing abuse and exploitation.

This past November and December, Polaris challenged our community to help us
raise necessary funds during our Transform Matching Gift Challenge. Our donors stepped up to the plate and then some by not only helping us reach
our goal, but by exceeding it!

The outpouring of support means we are going into this new year strong, ready to
take on the work ahead.

That means continuing our commitment to assisting victims and survivors through
the Polaris-operated U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. But, as the events
of 2020 made so abundently clear, human trafficking does not happen in a vacuum. That's why in 2021 we are deepening our work, transforming the inequities and
injustices in our society and communities that make trafficking possible in the
first place.

This is the work of a social justice movement that will fundamentally reduce the
amount of trafficking - not just respond to it. A movement takes more than one
organization. It takes all of us working together to ensure that everyone has
the chance to make their own choices about how they live and work, in freedom
and with dignity.

I'm so grateful for your support in 2020 and I'm excited to build on it in 2021. Together, freedom happens now.

With gratitude,

Catherine Chen
CEO

P.S. There is still time to help us elevate our fight against human trafficking
in 2021 by making a donation today.
