Chief David Lorenzen

Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement, Iowa DOT

“The TAT material is well done. It doesn’t take a lot of time to train staff, and the information is well put together. We fully embrace the efforts of TAT and will continue to work with them to get the information out to all professional drivers. Working together we can make a difference and curb this criminal activity.”

Congressman Ted Poe

(addressing the House Floor on 2/15/13)

Mr. Speaker, Mike, a truck driver, pulled over at a rest stop. He noticed a young girl approaching multiple trucks. The girl, who was clearly under age, came up to his cab and offered him sex for money. She seemed scared, and he asked her a few questions. She told him that, if she did not bring in enough money for her trafficker, the beatings by him would get worse. Thank goodness she had the courage to call for help. Mike understood the signs of human trafficking through an organization called Truckers Against Trafficking. He called the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, and authorities immediately arrived. The trafficker was arrested, put in jail, and the girl was rescued. I commend Truckers Against Trafficking. It is critical for our citizens to be educated about sex trafficking so we can end this scourge. America cannot continue to be blissfully silent while modern-day slavery is occurring in our communities. And that’s just the way it is.

Beth Jacobs

Survivor and Founder of Willow Way in Tucson, AZ

“Many years ago, I was brought to a truck stop to be raped, beaten, and thrown into the life of prostitution. I didn’t want, volunteer, or dream of being sexually exploited. There were no agencies or organizations to help me. TAT is doing a wonderful job of promoting awareness of this atrocity surrounding the trucking industry. Knowledge is power and is being passed on. Truckers are now in a position to help victims, and make a difference in our plight to END Human Trafficking in our world. Thank you, TAT!”

Nicole Moler

Former Director, National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH)

“Truckers are now one of the most motivated and well-organized industry groups working on this issue and their reports have led to countless arrests and recoveries of victims across the country. TAT has been instrumental in creating a community of activists who are speaking out against human trafficking and directly impacting the lives of victims. TAT is a leader in the fight against human trafficking and we regularly cite their work as an example for other industries to follow. I have no doubt that their work has and will continue to transform our ability to fight human trafficking and we are proud to partner with them in their efforts to eliminate human trafficking and modern-day slavery.”

Dr. Kirsten Foot, Ph.D.

Author of Collaborating Against Human Trafficking: Cross-Sector Challenges and Practices (Rowman, 2016), and the Dart Endowed Professor in Trauma, Journalism, and Communication, University of Washington, USA

“Since its origins in 2009, the nonprofit, nongovernmental organization Truckers Against Trafficking has catalyzed multisector efforts to counter sex trafficking by inviting private sector transportation companies and public sector transportation agencies to join them. Through partnerships with law enforcement and providers of victim services, TAT has created resource materials and trainings for individual drivers– and their employers– to learn how to take constructive action against sex trafficking as they encounter indicators of it in the course of their work. Moreover, TAT has been and continues to be a convenor for innovative strategy development for public and private ground transportation entities on how to identify potential situations of sex trafficking, respond effectively by notifying the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and how to support survivors via transportation services. Simply put, TAT is the sparkplug for multisector anti-sex trafficking efforts involving ground transportation."

Greg Fulton

President of the Colorado Motor Carriers Association

“The trucking industry is extremely diverse, and the issues very complex. In the past, we have worked with a multitude of groups both within and outside the trucking industry. We have found many already “know” the trucking industry and see no need for industry involvement. Most typically, those projects fail or have major issues that remain unresolved. Truckers Against Trafficking has taken the opposite approach. They make a point to become subject matter experts by talking to the experts and the end-users. TAT involves the industry from the beginning and uses feedback to further refine their projects. This ensures the critical issues are addressed during the process, rather than after completion. We have found TAT to be one of the most responsive organizations with which we work.”

DONATE

IRA ROLLOVER (QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION)

If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make a Tax-Smart Gift to Support Truckers Against Trafficking with a “rollover” gift from your IRA directly to TAT.

YOUR BENEFITS
 Support TAT’s Critical Mission
 Satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). If you have not already satisfied your RMD, you can satisfy all or part of that requirement and make a gift to TAT at the same time.
 Save on taxes. The funds you donate are not recognized as income for federal income tax purposes. You can enjoy tax benefits and still support TAT even if you do not itemize your deductions.

HOW TO MAKE AN IRA ROLLOVER GIFT TO TAT
Contact your IRA custodian to obtain the appropriate form to make an IRA charitable rollover. The form may refer to the rollover by its technical name, “qualified charitable distribution,” or QCD. On the form, specify the amount to be transferred to TAT, identify TAT by its full legal name, and include TAT’s tax ID no. 45-2696572.

The IRA plan custodian should make the check payable to TAT and mail it to:

Truckers Against Trafficking
Attn: Kendis Paris
PO Box 816
Englewood, CO 80151

Please instruct the IRA plan custodian to reference your name and address on the check; otherwise, it may be difficult to identify that you are the donor when the check arrives.

Questions: Please contact Kendis Paris at kparis@truckersagainsttrafficking.org

A member of the Truckers Against Trafficking team would love to speak with you about this option. Please send an email to kparis@truckersagainsttrafficking.org to get the conversation started.
