Jeanne Allert - The Samaritan Women

In our last e-newsletter, we shared the story of a victim of sex trafficking named APRIL (renamed "Hope" by the staff at The Samaritan Women) who we interviewed and ultimately helped rescue.

Read the full story here.

In this week's podcast, I had the opportunity to get an update from Jeanne Allert (founder and executive director of The Samaritan Women) that you don't want to miss. She shares more about Hope's story and what her next steps look like.

CONVERSATION STARTER:
"How Could This Be Happening?"
Sex Trafficking 101 Infographic

INPLAINSIGHT-sextrafficking-101

Many of you are beginning to share about the issue of sex trafficking with your friends, and you're getting a blank stare.

"What? How could this be happening in the US?"

We know. We get the same blank stares, too. That's why we put together a nifty infographic that helps people get a visual of how all three parties (trafficker, victim, and customer) get involved in sex trafficking. While the infographic is limited in its ability to share the breadth and complexity of the issue, it's a great conversation starter for you to use.

WILL YOU HELP?
We Need $31,000 to Finish
the IN PLAIN SIGHT Documentary

contributebutton

After raising $44,000, we've filmed in Nashville, Baltimore, and Washington, DC already, and we have just enough money to film in Sacramento, Little Rock, Houston, and Dallas in January and February.

After that, we'll almost be out of money.

Without the remaining $31,000 still needed, we won't be able to complete the IN PLAIN SIGHT documentary. Here's what that money needs to go toward...

video editing,
sound editing,
narration writing,
music,
and coloring.

Frankly $75,000 is a LEAN budget for a project of this size. This is a non-profit campaign, and all donations are tax-deductible within the United States.

EVERY PENNY COUNTS

Some of you can make sizable donations of $5,000 or $10,000, but I want you to know that every penny adds up. No matter what you can donate, it will help make a difference.

1. Watch Natalie Grant (Executive Producer and Narrator) share about the film.

2. Ask yourself, “How much am I being called to invest in this critical campaign to stop sex trafficking in the US?”

3. Make a tax-deductible donation by credit card (click the “Contribute Now” button) or check made out to:
