Who are we helping

Stop Human Trafficking

A percentage of our proceeds will go to Saving Innocence.  Human trafficking is the business of stealing freedom for profit. In some cases, traffickers trick, defraud or physically force victims into providing commercial sex. In other cases, victims are lied to, assaulted, threatened or manipulated into working under inhumane, illegal or otherwise unacceptable conditions. It is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 24.9 million people around the world.  

How Saving Innocence works -

Law enforcement has the first point of contact with the child survivor.  Saving Innocence is contacted and within 90 minutes a Saving Innocence advocate responds along with Child Welfare and Probation.  The child survivor is transported to the hospital.  Clothes and food are provided, and the child survivor is taken for a medical exam. Through it all Saving Innocence gives support and encouragement.  The Saving Innocence advocate ensures that a safety plan and housing is in place for the child survivor.  There is potentially nine months of support with time, love, support and beyond.  Saving Innocence also supports the child through testifying against trafficker.  Saving Innocences offer Life Skills,  Community Connections,  Celebrations,  and Empowerment Events.  

Saving Innocence also offers an extensive advocacy course to become educated in working with commercially sexually-exploited children (CESC).

End systemic racism

Fight For Equality

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington. He called for civil and economic rights and to end racism. Martin Luther King Jr. passionately spoke and said, "I say to you today, my friends, though, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
 
We, at Skylar Morgan, are dedicated to continuing to carry out his dream. Systemic Racism needs to end. There are myriad ways to educate yourself through books, articles, movies and social media as your call-to-action.
 
Systemic racism are systems in place that create and maintain racial inequality in all facets of the lives of people of color. This should not exist. Systemic racism creates disparities in many success indicators like the racial wealth gap, bank loan approvals, inequality in the criminal justice system, employment opportunities and salary disparities, housing insecurity, including homelessness, affordable and quality health care, available and affordable proper education and political agendas.
 
All of these aforementioned practices have enforced segregation, bred resentment and hate.
 
This needs to change. There are human beings' lives at stake literally every day.
