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. 

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.

We’re supporting victims and survivors in continuously changing times. And adapting our prevention work to get ahead of the traffickers. 

YOU are vital to this movement! People vulnerable to trafficking need your care now. 

Your x4 MATCHED gift can help:

• Build safety nets for vulnerable people in local communities to help prevent trafficking. (Like our pilot program in San Diego!)

• Get our Labor Trafficking Toolkit to more workers. It helps them know their rights, advocate for themselves, and learn how to seek help. 

• Fund our data team, who tracks and analyzes what’s really happening today in trafficking. They keep us prepared and responsive — for victims, survivors, and prevention. 

The clock is ticking on the 30-day matching challenge! Please help now to quadruple your impact. 

If you’re with us, we’ll stay nimble to end human trafficking.

P.S. Give now to take advantage of a x4 match! With your care, vulnerable people are protected against new trafficking tactics. Your gift today will help victims and survivors — while also preventing trafficking from happening in the first place.
