We’ve added a new face to our Dressember team! Meet Jillian Rae Saldana, our Admin Assistant. She’s that friendly gal behind the keyboard answering your questions through the general email & making sure things are running smoothly. Most likely she’s responding to you while dominating renditions of 90’s power ballads (b/c #multitasking is key to success 🎤). Our small team is growing & we couldn’t be happier. Welcome to the team, Jillian 💛
CONSENT - in the wake of #metoo & #timesup, we’re having incredibly important conversations about the behavior we will and won’t accept in society. Let’s do our best to keep this conversation going.
Spring is here. The buds are blooming in unlikely places. Don’t forget that you have permission to as well.
Rise, baby, rise! What #mondaymantra are you starting your week off with? Let’s spread some inspiration. Tell us below 👇🏼
We’ve raised $5,000 and counting for our spring beneficiary partner, @castlosangeles. We’re 10% of the way to our goal of raising $50,000 to help fund their Transitional Age Youth program. This program supports survivors by helping them build job skills & professional development through direct work experience and mentorship. Show the world #youcandoanythinginadress and be a part of the impact by setting up a campaign page. Follow the link in our bio for more information. 📷: @becca.ventures
The other day someone asked how we keep working for rescue and freedom when statistically only 1% of trafficking victims ever get rescued. The answer is HOPE. We hold on to hope. We rejoice in the small victories, the personal victories. _ What brings you hope? Tell us below 👇🏼
Who knew fashion could be so freeing? For this #fashionfriday, we’re featuring @freesetusa ; a fair trade company committed to employing women who have been trapped in the generational trafficking present in West Bengal, India. Next time you need bulk custom shirts, bags, fabric, etc. for your event or gathering, leave it to Freeset USA! They are our go-to when it comes to producing custom products that aren’t harmful to the workers who made it. _ You can bring home one of our custom totes made by @freesetusa at our upcoming 5k in Los Angeles (link in bio to register).
This past January, more than 500 suspects were arrested for human trafficking in Los Angeles, and 56 survivors were rescued including 11 children. This was the result of a task force inspired by the rallying cries of concerned citizens. Never doubt the power you have in your activism. #itsbiggerthanadress

Richard Lee, Director of Church Mobilization for @ijm recently told a story in his TED talk about a slave owner in Chennai, India who enslaved 512 people in 2011. While those 512 gained freedom, the slave owner also made it out a free man because of a justice system unwilling or unable to arrest slave owners at the time. Flash forward to five years later, where another rescue operation freed 564 people at the same brick factory under the SAME slave owner. However this time, the government had amendments put in place to give more severe punishments for slave owners. After oppressing over 1,000 individuals, the brick factory owner finally was arrested. This powerful story shows the importance of working with local government and law enforcement to ensure that slavery doesn’t become a sustainable cycle. _ Read our entire reflection on Richard Lee’s TED talk today on the blog (Check out our Instagram story for access)
