Everyone's Kids, Everyone Gives

Coconut Telegraph

In an effort to end the sex trafficking and slavery of minors in the United States, a new national campaign, Everyone’s Kids, Everyone Gives (EKEG), has united more than 100 nonprofits, including Ark of Freedom, a  Sarasota-Manatee based anti-trafficking organization. The goal is to raise $1 million in 24 hours on September 16 through online giving.   Every year, more than 100,000 American children are trafficked within the United States, a harrowing figure of which many Americans are still unaware.  The American sex trafficking industry is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the U.S., worth 3 billion dollars each year. In partnership with the leading crowdfunding platform, Razoo.com, supporters can donate directly to Ark of Freedom and other anti-child sex trafficking nonprofits on September 16 or schedule their donations in advance.
