Your Voice Can Spark Change—Will You Use It?

Hi John,   

Time is running out — only one week remains to register for IJM’s Advocacy Summit, happening Sept. 9–10 in Washington, D.C.!

This isn’t just another event. It’s a powerful opportunity for people like YOU to stand up against human trafficking and online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) and be heard by elected officials who can make real change. I’ve seen it firsthand: Your voice can influence policy, shift priorities, and help protect the most vulnerable.

🎯 This Year’s Policy Focus

Before each IJM Advocacy Summit, we take time to research and identify a pressing issue affecting IJM’s programmatic work that could be addressed by a U.S. public policy solution.

This year, we have selected two priorities on which to focus our efforts – one that more broadly supports U.S. leadership in combatting human trafficking globally and a second that is specific to online sexual exploitation of children, or OSEC. 

• Reauthorization of the State Department’s anti-trafficking programs.
• The STOP CSAM Act of 2025. Read our endorsement statement.

Rest assured that we will prepare you to speak confidently about both bills in your congressional meetings. Your advocacy can help move these critical pieces of legislation forward and protect vulnerable people around the world.

Reminder on what to expect at the Advocacy Summit:

• Two days of impactful training and lobbying
• Meetings with congressional staff and members
• A chance to join a community of passionate justice seekers
• A legacy of real legislative wins driven by people like you

Leaders are listening. Will your voice be among those they hear?

I hope to see you on Capitol Hill! 

Until all are free, 
Nate King 
Director, U.S. Policy and Advocacy
