Native Hope is a nonprofit organization that's doing important work to empower young Native Americans through programs that provide education, protect at-risk youth, and honor cultural heritage. One of the projects they've been highly involved in is bringing awareness to sex trafficking, something that affects Native women and girls. Read more about this important issue!
About the Campaign
“Each year the Sturgis Rally draws more than just tourists. Criminals see the event as a prime opportunity—for sex trafficking. And the sad reality is that 40% of sex trafficking victims in South Dakota are Native women and girls.
We at Native Hope think this is unacceptable. We won’t stand by and let it happen, right in our backyard, so we're taking action again this year.
We’re partnering with local businesses, bike clubs, media outlets, and local law enforcement to arm thousands of people with the knowledge of how they can take action to stop traffickers and help bring them to justice.
Our goal is simple: zero trafficking victims during the Sturgis Rally—but we can’t achieve it without your help.”
And here's another great video talking about their involvement with last year's rally
