A sub-committe of the House is ready to vote on whether to provide $15 million to support survivors of human trafficking.  You can click here to sign a petition asking:

•    To provide the highest possible funding level for Department of Justice grants for programs to end human trafficking and slavery;
•     To provide a funding floor for foreign nationals in the Justice grants to ensure continuity of programs;
•    To retain the report language requiring the Department of Justice to establish a point of contact in each U.S. Attorney Office to better coordinate human trafficking and slavery efforts in each jurisdiction; and
•    To support the Senate report language for Human Trafficking Prosecution Units.

The Senate committee has already approved similar funding.  Sign now to support survivors of human trafficking!
