    Funding to help prevent human trafficking and domestic violence

    Stop human trafficking

    We have continuously been advocating for more funding to help prevent human trafficking and domestic violence. Now more than ever, we must support nonprofit organizations to help the survivors of these crimes. Our advocacy during this budget cycle and the past three years on these issues is based on facts.
