“All I have to say about CAASE and you is that you all completely changed my world. I didn’t know if anyone would ever be in my corner until I came across the organization.”

This personal account from a client represents what you supported with a pledge to CAASE this #GivingTuesday. We feel so humbled and inspired by our community’s profound generosity. Our friends and families made financial contributions, shared our stories on social media, and reached out to their networks to build momentum. And, together, we raised over $15,100, exceeding this year’s goal! 

The impact of this kindness will be felt as we lift survivors’ voices throughout the upcoming year. It allows us to provide free representation to victims of sexual assault and trafficking, pass laws and win support for policies that improve our community’s response to the commercial sex trade, sexual harassment, and rape, and teach youth—especially young men—how to be effective allies in ending sexual harm.

Champions like you are the key to providing compassion and justice to individuals who have been sexually harmed. You’ve proven your commitment to improving the culture we live in by fighting against all forms of sexual exploitation. We hope you’ll continue to spread the word about our work as the holidays continue and join us in celebrating CAASE’s victories in 2021! Thanks to the gifts of #GivingTuesday, we can confidently look forward to what the future holds.

Didn’t get a chance to give? It’s not too late! Keep the march towards justice moving! Every cent goes to promoting CAASE’s vision of a more equitable world.
