Take Action Against Human Trafficking

Monday, April 25 marked the beginning of an eight-week  campaign sponsored by US Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking (USCSAHT) to persuade senators, especially our women senators, to cosponsor S. 1968, the Business Supply Chain Transparency on Trafficking and Slavery Act of 2015. The campaign will include emails, phone calls, letters, social media, and visits with staff in Washington and in the Senators’ home states. USCSAHT representatives will receive email alerts and related materials as each phase of this campaign unfolds. This is the first of four action alerts which you will receive between now and May 30.

During the next two weeks, we urge you, along with the members of your congregations, associates, co-ministers, family members and friends, to contact both of your senators via e-mail (link provided below) requesting that they co sponsor S. 1968. If your Senator is already a co-sponsor (Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Edward Markey (D-MA), Al Franken (D-MN) and Kirsten Gillebrand (D-NY), a "thank you" e-mail is also provided.

If your senators are NOT co-sponsors of S 1968, use the first e-mail message. Note that the Action Alert on the page offers additional language to add to the message going to women members of the Senate.

If your senator IS a co-sponsor of S 1968, use the second e-mail message to express your gratitude to him/her.  (Sponsor: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT); Co-sponsors: Senators Edward Markey (D-MA); Al Franken (D-MN); Kirsten Gillebrand (D-NY).
