On February 2026, Congress passed S.Res.603, supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2026, and ending on February 1, 2026, to raise awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern slavery.
The resolution is important in raising awareness, starting conversation, and bringing effort to action, but we at Until Zero wish to share this passage from the resolution, and underline its significance, not only in our vision and mission, but in the cause:
Whereas, to combat human trafficking and modern slavery in the United States and globally, the people of the United States, the Federal Government, and State, Tribal, and local governments must be—
(1) aware of the realities of human trafficking and modern slavery; and
(2) dedicated to stopping the horrific enterprises of human trafficking and modern slavery;
Whereas the United States should hold accountable all individuals, groups, organizations, governments, and countries that support, advance, or commit acts of human trafficking and modern slavery;
Whereas, through education, the United States must also work to end human trafficking and modern slavery in all forms in the United States and around the world;
Whereas victims of human trafficking deserve a trauma-informed approach that integrates the pursuit of justice and provision of social services designed to help them escape, and recover from, the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual trauma they endured;
In a time when our country is divisive and darkness seems to be ever-increasing, we must stand in solidarity against the monsters who wish us, and our children, harm.
