Today a group of modern day abolitionists met on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to hear a briefing on domestic child sex trafficking. The Rebecca Project (http://www.rebeccaproject.org/) and the DNA Foundation (http://demiandashton.org/) hosted the event. The panel consisted of three survivors of sex trafficking in the United States (all U.S. citizens!), Demi Moore, Representative from the Department of Justice, and Dr. Michael Shively, Demand Expert. The room consisted of many NGOs fighting human trafficking as well as Members of Congress. Check out some great organizations fighting human trafficking in the U.S.:

"...the time has come to move human rights from wholesale to retail - to take the human rights promises stored in the warehouses of national law and deliver them to the poor standing in line for justice." - Gary Haugen

Today ALL @IJMHQ staff came together in our Justice Center to celebrate the Spring Interns. This group of extraordinary people have served alongside us in this work and have truly left a tangible mark on the work of justice. As the class bid staff farewell, they reminded us that they saved the organization well over $135,000 by their dedicated work. WOW! On behalf of IJM staff worldwide, the clients we serve, and the clients we hope to one day serve, THANK YOU!

Last week IJM became one of over 500 NGOs competing for a paid ad in USATODAY. Whichever NGO received the most Tweets won the ad valued at $187,000. For two days straight hundreds of our supporters (many of them being YOU who are reading this post) Tweeted asking USATODAY to run an ad about the work of IJM. Although we did not win, we placed 6th out of over 500 NGOs. It is a true honor! In debriefing the contest, @IJMHQ realized once again we have AMAZING supporters who want to bring rescue to the oppressed around the world. Thank you once again!
