Human trafficking thrives in the shadows. Take action today. October 27, 2020
Please contact your elected officials to support survivors of human trafficking in our community.
Dear Friend:
Yesterday, I joined Attorney General Dave Yost and statewide anti-human trafficking partners to announce the results of the largest anti-human trafficking operation in Ohio’s history. Operation Autumn Hope identified over 100 trafficking survivors and Cleveland Rape Crisis Center’s team of Advocates provided survivors with support and access to healing services.
Since our agency was founded in 1974, even before we had the term ‘human trafficking,’ survivors of sex trafficking have trusted us with their stories and healing journeys. We know that now, in the COVID-19 pandemic, far too many women, children, and men in our community remain vulnerable to human trafficking.
That’s why I’m emailing you today, to ask for your help. Please contact your Cuyahoga County Council member and Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish today, asking them to approve county funding for Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.
We’ve provided sample messages and contact information below.
Thank you for supporting survivors.
Sondra Miller
President & CEO
Cleveland Rape Crisis Center
