Dear John,
On Giving Tuesday, the world will pause their holiday shopping to give a gift that can’t be wrapped or topped with a bow. Instead, we give a gift from the heart to help those who need us – like men, women, and children who are currently being trafficked.
As a member of the Polaris community, I hope you’ll consider dedicating this Giving Tuesday to ending human trafficking. Your financial support can give help and hope to victims and survivors.
Help make freedom happen NOW for thousands of victims of human trafficking with a generous gift today. And now through December 3rd, your donation will make TWICE the impact thanks to a special $50,000 Giving Tuesday Match!
Your support enables us to run the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline 24/7/365, which connects survivors of human trafficking with vital support and options to get help and stay safe. The National Hotline receives thousands of calls, texts, emails and chats every year, providing lifesaving resources needed to get victims out of their situation or to readjust their new lives after.
More survivors than ever are reaching out to be connected to services like shelter, food, and medical care. That means we need you now more than ever, too. |

John, the National Hotline is just one link in a chain of actions that Polaris is taking to eradicate the crime of human trafficking for good. Here’s what that chain looks like:
| |
1. |
Running the National Hotline, the first point of contact for victims, survivors, or people who want to help individuals in a trafficking situation who can’t reach out themselves. It is also how we provide access to trauma-informed support and direct services. |
| |
2. |
Building one of the largest public data sets on human trafficking in the United States, digging deeper to learn how the business of human trafficking really works, in real-time. |
| |
3. |
Turning knowledge into action, designing targeted strategies that change entire systems that enable trafficking to flourish. |
| |
4. |
Enlisting law enforcement and other public and private-sector partners to prevent and disrupt human trafficking at scale. |
But really, that chain has to start with you, John. Our life-changing work is only possible through the support of generous people like you. It’s why I hope you’ll step up today when your gift can increase in size and impact.
Sincerely,
Nancy McGuire Choi
Interim CEO
Polaris
