Sex Trafficking is Happening in Placer County!

"The greatest gift a parent can receive is the return of their child that has been human trafficked."

Human trafficking is not just a global issue - it's happening here in our backyard. In Placer County alone, there were over 50 reported cases last year. These are not just numbers; they represent real lives ensnared by exploitation and fear. Your support can help free them from this modern day slavery and provide the crucial assistance they need to reclaim their freedom and dignity. 

My name is Emily, and I am a human trafficking survivor.

I was trapped in a nightmare I thought I could never escape. Forced into situations no one should ever experience, I lost all hope. When I was at my lowest, Stand Up Placer reached out a lifeline. They helped me escape my captors and provided a safe space where I could start to heal. With their support, I accessed counseling and legal assistance that empowered me to rebuild my life on my own terms. Stand Up Placer didn't just rescue me; they gave me the tools to reclaim my independence and my dignity.
