In recognition of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, a global day of awareness of sexual exploitation and trafficking, I will be riding in ECPAT-USA's 5 Boro Survivor Solidarity ride on August 1. 

As ECPAT-USA's Youth Outreach Manager, this ride is very important to me in our continued efforts to protecting children from the treat of sexual exploitation and trafficking. I will be joining our Executive Director, Lori Cohen, and our team of Survivor Solidarity Riders, where we will ride through various "hot spots" in New York. These spots have been identified by ECPAT-USA’s Survivors' Council as locations where they were trafficked. We will begin in Hunts Point and end in Staten Island. This Survivor Solidarity Ride will symbolize the empowerment of ECPAT-USA’s Survivors' Council. The team and I hope you will join us in solidarity! 

I am raising funds to support ECPAT-USA survivor-informed programs and would love to have your support!

Together we can demonstrate our unity and commitment to protecting children. Every dollar raised will go to ECPAT-USA's mission to protect every child’s human right to grow up free from the threat of sexual exploitation and trafficking. Thank you!
