“Though we cannot be certain of what the future holds, we ended 2020 much like we began, with an eye to the future. We are more confident than ever of the need to hold true in our values. 

It is ever more apparent the need to align our focus and sight on the true causes of human trafficking and commercial exploitation; long-standing systemic discrimination related to racism, classism, homophobia, and sexism. As well as inequalities related to employment, housing, poverty, healthcare, policing, incarcerations, etc. Creating a community free of exploitation means telling the truth about the real causes of exploitation and creating solutions that help all of those currently affected and at risk.”
