It’s Almost Time for #WearBlueDay

Hashtag Wear Blue Day is January 11th. Image of two people taking a selfie wearing blue clothing. Blue Campaign logo.
The White House has proclaimed January as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. It is a time to bring awareness to the crime while emphasizing the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to protect and empower lived experience experts, prosecute traffickers, and bring an end to human trafficking in the United States and across the globe.

Blue Campaign invites you to play a role in combating human trafficking by participating in #WearBlueDay on Wednesday, January 11, 2023. Getting involved is simple:

Wear your favorite blue outfit or article of clothing (e.g., T-shirt or hat)
Take a selfie, group photo, or video
Share your photo or video on your preferred social media platform using the hashtag #WearBlueDay
Encourage friends and followers to post as well
Why blue? Blue is the international color of human trafficking awareness. Anyone can make a difference on #WearBlueDay, and by participating, you can increase online awareness of human trafficking and play a role in saving lives.

Pat Mori, Children's Interview Center, Director received $500 check from the Kiwanis Club of Martinez.

Stalking

Persons aged 18-24 years experience the highest rate of stalking. One in 6 women and one in 19 men in the United States have experienced stalking during their lifetime.

Human Trafficking

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims.

What We Do

Community Violence Solutions (CVS) is dedicated to working in partnership with the community to end sexual assault and family violence through prevention, crisis services, and treatment. Formerly called Rape Crisis Center, CVS was founded by the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program in 1974 and incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1977.

Since then, CVS has expanded its services to all of Contra Costa and Marin Counties. Community Violence Solutions is a non-profit agency that relies on your financial donations and that depends on the efforts of dozens of community volunteers.
