Freedom Requires Action | U.S. Capitol 2020

January 27th & 28th, 2020 | Washington D.C.

"The work of Safe House Project is saving lives and shedding light in the darkest parts of our society. It is imperative that state-wide networks are created." - Becky Gaskin, The Hagerman Foundation

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Washington D.C. this week for our "Freedom Requires Action" symposium at the United States Capitol. As we spoke at the U.S. Capitol we saw communities, corporations, and politicians starting to unite with a common goal of eradicating child sex trafficking in America.

This week, we were encouraged to see President Trump propose a bill that will provide $42M to serve and empower survivors, this huge step forward to ensuring their story does not end at rescue.

Today, various leaders of the safe houses we are helping launch met with the Trump Administration to lend their expertise to the fight. We were excited to present one of our many 2020 grant recipients with their first quarter disbursement of $50K dollars that will help open their doors to 24 children in February.

Ultimately, this is not an issue that will be solved by one person, one organization, or one politician, but this week we saw a spark that we know will ignite a national response to protect future generations and support those who have already been victimized.
