Human Trafficking Awareness Day 2012 – What will you do to make a difference?

Established through a Senate resolution three years ago, January 11 is dedicated to raising awareness of and opposition to human trafficking.

Raising awareness is a crucial first step, but alone it is not enough. Knowledge without action is information wasted. Outlined below you’ll find a variety of ways that you can immediately engage your friends and family on human trafficking.

•  Pledge to support victims of human trafficking by 1/27/2012 and tell us what you plan to do!

•  Start a photo campaign around your school on Valentine’s Day. Check out the details about how to get started with our “____________ against human trafficking” campaign. We’re accepting photo submissions through February 14. Send them to info@polarisproject.org

•  Fundraise. Host a fundraiser to raise money for Polaris Project to help meet the critical needs of survivors. This works best if done by a group of people or a club. Not able to get a group of people together? No problem! You can start your very own peer-to-peer fundraising campaign today and ask your friends and family members to get involved in the fight against slavery.

• Sign up for the Polaris Project grassroots network. Learn about our work, ways to get involved, and other updates from the anti-trafficking movement.

Special note: Everyone who signs our pledge, submits a photo, or signs up to become a member of our grassroots network from this page, will automatically be entered into a drawing to win a complementary copy of the DVD Not My Life. Five winners will be announced on VDAY, February 14.
