1. International Justice Mission is one of the largest organizations fighting human trafficking through policy change and training. IJM looks at the bigger picture, working to dismantle the system of human trafficking itself. In many contexts, police, judges, and officials are ill-equipped to enforce anti-human trafficking laws. IJM’s lawyers train local leaders and law enforcers to respond to this crime.
If enacting change through policy-making and training appeals to you, consider supporting IJM’s mission to put an end to modern-day slavery.
2. Love Justice International helps intercept potential victims of human trafficking as they cross borders. By monitoring strategic transit points, LJI identifies trafficking networks to stop trafficking as it occurs. To date, they’ve intercepted over 25,000 individuals and helped authorities arrest over 1,000 suspects.
If you care about stopping human trafficking before vulnerable people are exploited, Love Justice International is a great choice.

** Update on filing your 990-N: I have been attempting to file my 990 since mid-January, but the IRS page to file the 990-N was “unavailable due to maintenance“.
I spoke with a Rep in the IRS Business division, and she confirmed what I read, but didn’t know when we would be able to file our 990-N/e-Postcard.
Reminder: You can file a regular 990 if you insist on filing a paper copy, even if you have less than $50,000. for the previous tax year.

Although a bit frustrating, it seems like they are working on the system.
Here are a couple of events to help you elevate your level of service to your community:
