We hope you’re staying safe, and thank you for your continued support. As our economy slowly starts to re-launch, we are pleased to announce that our #SeeingYellow campaign will be returning for 2020 – starting today!
Last year, we launched our #SeeingYellow campaign in June, serving as a month-long initiative that encouraged our Allies to show their support for our cause. Across the country, we had Allies support by wearing and showcasing yellow, selling #NotInMyCity merchandise, creating fundraisers and having conversations with others about the realities of this crime. Thank you to our many supporters!
This year, our #SeeingYellow campaign will take place from June 1 through August 31. We know the world looks a little different right now, but there are still a number of ways you or your organization can participate in #SeeingYellow and make a difference in the lives of victims of sexual exploitation.
