Make sure slavery-ending programs get funded
Congress is deciding where to allocate precious funding, and they need to hear from you! One of the best ways to get their attention is to send an email telling them to fund the fight against modern day slavery. The TIP Office and its initiatives like the Child Protection Compacts are critical US government programs that allow organizations like IJM to continue the work of prosecution of traffickers, protection of survivors, and prevention of trafficking in the first place. And you have the power to make this happen – Congress will not act unless you raise your voice.

IJM and partners protect refugee from trafficking risk at Ukraine border
Larysa* recently fled her home in Ukraine. Part way through her journey out of the country, she was approached by a man who promised her a new life in Italy. Thankfully, an IJM-trained shelter identified signs of trafficking and were able to keep Larysa safe. This is an example of why it’s so important to stay in touch with refugees as they journey to safety, and for shelters to be able to identify suspicious behavior and signs of exploitation.

Justice for Willie
On 23 June 2016, IJM investigator Willie Kimani, IJM client Josephat Mwenda and trusted driver Joseph Muiruri were tragically murdered by four accused police officers and a civilian, and almost 5 years later, the "Mavoko 3" trial is finally closing.
We know Willie, Josephat and Joseph's families are eagerly awaiting an end to the legal process and closure on this tragedy. There must be accountability for perpetrators of police abuse of power, and enforced disappearances. Victims must have closure, and Kenyans must have police they can turn to.
Please join us in praying for true justice to be served in this case in Nairobi with no further delays.
