Join the team at Not For Sale in advocating for the rights of trafficking survivors in Washington DC!

The T Visa came into law with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000. It was introduced to protect women, children and men who are survivors of human trafficking. The T Visa is a significant benefit for survivors, yet the legislation does not do enough to protect survivors and has been poorly implemented. If we are going to put an end to slavery within the United States, we must offer protection and a future for the survivors. Join the Not For Sale team in Washington DC on October 8 - 9/2008 to advocate for more effective implementation of these important T-Visas.

While in DC, you will:

1. Participate in advocacy workshops focused around the principles of “smart activism”

2. Hear from a trafficking survivor

3. Discuss human trafficking with leading public officials and with the NFS team

4. Learn how to “map slavery” in your local region

5. Advocate for an improved T Visa program

Our mission: Make modern-day slavery, trafficking survivors, and the T-visa program priorities in 2008/09 for DC decision-makers.

Will you join us?

Spaces are limited. Sign-up soon for Not For Sale Advocacy Days! We look forward to meeting you there.

Together in the cause,

The Not For Sale Campaign
