John,

Adaptable.

What comes to mind when you hear the word?

Adjusting and staying flexible can be a virtue. But not when we’re talking about traffickers exploiting vulnerable people.

Through the pandemic, human traffickers have become more adaptable than ever in committing their crimes. They’ve found loopholes and new tactics, changing how trafficking happens today.

I’m asking for your help to meet an urgent need:

Just as traffickers have adapted, creating new ways to rob people of their freedom, we must quickly adapt and respond.

Please, will you give to support victims and survivors — as well as prevention — in changing times?

Now’s the time! Every $1 you give becomes $4 with a quadruple match.

YES, I'LL HELP NOW

You’ll be shocked by how adaptable traffickers are.

The latest data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline tells us:

In just one year, online recruitment of victims jumped 22%. Traffickers use strip clubs, foster homes, and schools less … but have increasingly moved operations online, where few safety nets exist.

In just one year, reports of traffickers using Facebook increased by 125% and by 95% on Instagram.

Traffickers are taking advantage of loopholes in broken systems like the H-2A worker visa program. Abusive employers can more easily coerce workers, threatening to get them deported if they go to authorities about mistreatment, wage theft, forced labor, or poor conditions.

For those being targeted, this feels terrifying — like there’s no safe place and no one to trust.

It’s why we’re here. It’s why victims and survivors need you today.
