IL Action Alert: Support Bill For Increased Resources For Trafficking Survivors

Illinois: Ask your lawmakers to support S.B. 3558

Did you know that the National Human Trafficking Resource Center has received reports of more than 350 cases of sex trafficking in Illinois? We know that there are so many more victims out there that we haven't heard from, and who are in need of shelter, food, counseling, legal help, and educational support to escape and rebuild their lives.

You can help dramatically increase resources for victims of sex trafficking in your state. A new bill (SB 3558) has been introduced in the state legislature that will create a special fund for service providers who offer essential support for trafficking survivors. The fund would be created from fines against traffickers and buyers of commercial sex, forfeiture and impoundment proceedings, and specialty license plates. Through SB 3558, those who exploit and profit off of victims of sex trafficking will now help pay for the recovery of these survivors.

Please tell your state representative to support this bill today:
