FNUSA Joins 130+ Groups in Urging for a Humane Immigration System
|
|
Freedom Network USA has signed onto the “Top Five Immigration Priorities for a Just Budget in 2023” statement. A fair and safe path to citizenship is a key prevention factor for trafficking. Undocumented immigrants are at an especially high risk of being taken advantage of by traffickers. This is why we are advocating for a budget that divests from detention and enforcement and invests in legal services and community-based programming.

FNUSA Continues the Survivor Relief Fund
|
|
|
When we established the Survivor Relief Fund in May 2020, we never could have imagined the long-lasting impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the past year, trafficking survivors have faced an incredible number of challenges, from struggling to afford housing, feed their families, and cope with the mental and emotional toll of a seemingly neverending pandemic. Thankfully, we have been able to assist by providing survivors with direct funding through $300 grants. These payments help survivors pay their rent, afford prescriptions and groceries, and overall, provide a bit of stability through the constant chaos. You have a chance to help, as well. Give to the Survivor Relief Fund today!
