The Polaris Post

Dear John, 

As we close out this year’s National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we are grateful for your partnership in stopping sex and labor trafficking and supporting victims and survivors on their journeys to freedom.

In the stories below, you’ll get a chance to learn more about Polaris’s new leadership, how we’re staying survivor centered while leveraging technology for greater impact, and how you can help support victims and survivors. We hope you will forward this Polaris Post to others who share your values. 

Together, we can create a world where everyone is free to choose how and where they live and work.

As we shared earlier this month, Jen Jinks and Taskeen Hamidullah-Bahl have been appointed interim co-CEOs by our board.

​Please join us in celebrating their new roles! While they may be new to the CEO role, both have extensive leadership experience. You’ll recognize Jen as our former Chief Program Officer, and Taskeen brings over two decades of experience in the financial services industry. 

Check out their bios to learn more about them!

Through corporate transportation and hospitality partners, Polaris uses donated flight miles and hotel points to support victims and survivors taking their next steps toward freedom. If you’re a member of a participating rewards program, please consider contributing!
