If this is a trafficking emergency 911

TAKE ACTION

The more people that know what signs to look for, the more tips that get made and ultimately more victims are saved. One way to be involved is to help increase awareness and training in your community. Submit the form on our Contact Us page to request a presentation.

Another way to get involved is to volunteer. There are many ways to support survivors and fight against human trafficking. Here are some examples.

  • Handwritten Notes/Cards  Write notes/letters/cards with an encouraging message to survivors.  Survivors are often traumatized and discouraged.  They need to know someone cares about them.  The notes will be delivered by various agencies who directly serve survivors.  Do not address envelope and leave unsealed.
  • Gift Cards  Purchase $25 gift cards to Walmart or Target to be used by our advocate agencies to purchase clothes and necessities for survivors.  Deliver cards to Felicia Tallent.
  • Bus Passes  Survivors need transportation to and from medical and counseling appointments and support groups.
  • Survivor Bags  Survivors with Unbound and Rescue Her need backpacks, underwear, sports bras, t-shirts, sweatpants/yoga pants, personal hygiene items, small soft throw blankets, journals & adult coloring books.  A21 also has an Amazon wish list for survivors: https://cutt.ly/A21_DFW_Amazon_Wishlist.
  • Survivor Advocate  Train with The Net to walk alongside a Survivor as they live life and recover from the trauma suffered at the hands of the traffickers.  Another opportunity is to join Unbound, Traffick911, or A21 and receive specialized training to assist with specific advocacy opportunities, like transporting survivors to appointments or providing support when a victim has been identified.
  • Survivor Friend  Attend special events (typically during the day on Saturday) with The Net as they provide opportunities for the Survivors to mingle and meet women in our community that care about them.
  • Trainer  Become an Unbound trainer and spread trafficking awareness in their Youth Prevention, Professional Training, or Community Outreach programs.
  • Administrative  Assist Unbound or Traffick911 with administrative opportunities, like filing, maintaining spreadsheets, and bulk mailings.
  • Meal/Dessert  Provide meal and or dessert to a support group meeting for Survivors at The Net.
  • Quarterly Men’s Breakfast  Join like-minded men in the Fort Worth community to learn how we can come together to be better men and end the demand for sex trafficking.
  • Cyber-Patrol (Men)  Partner with The Net’s MASE (Men Against Sexual Exploitation) program as they patrol the internet and disrupt the purchase of children.
  • Event Planning and Coordination  Assist a nonprofit with an upcoming event to raise awareness or funds to fight against trafficking.
  • Donate  Donate much needed funds to either the 5 Stones Foundation or one of our worthy partner organizations.
  • Support Employment  Either volunteer or donate to support the Accelerate Institute at Tarrant County College.  This program will fast-track survivors of human trafficking through short-term training that leads directly to employment.
  • Prayer  Lead a prayer team to intercede for protection from human trafficking, recognition of signs of exploitation, recovery of survivors, healing for survivors, justice in legal outcomes, and frontline favor for advocates/workers. Learn more about how to lead a prayer team with Unbound Now or Traffick911.
  • Provide an Experience  Unbound Now Advocates build relationships with survivors through shared experiences, give a gift certificate for a painting class, workout class, or a shared meal to help build healthy relationships between an advocate and a survivor.
  • Vote  Vote for candidates that will be tough on trafficking and provide needed resources for survivors.  Research State and local candidates and know their record on the issues.
  • Contact Your Representatives  Be sure your representatives in all levels of government understand that you want the issue of trafficking to be dealt with in an effective manner including penalties against traffickers and Johns and restitution and support for the survivors.
  • Be a Voice in the Community  Educate yourself about trafficking in Tarrant County and then tell your friends, coworkers, church members and anyone who will listen what is happening to children in our community.  There are still people who don’t know this is happening here in Fort Worth.
