We're honored to share that Every ONE Free was featured in the Claremont Courier! 📰✨

Thank you to Lisa Butterworth for sitting down with us and helping tell the story of the survivors we serve. In the article, our founder Tamiko Chacon shares how Every ONE Free began in 2010, and we talk about our 24-week Pathways to Freedom program, our lifelong aftercare, and the incredible progress our clients make.

This kind of visibility matters. Every person who reads this story learns a little more about human trafficking in our region and how our community can help.

This summer, we had the privilege of hosting Ducquaine, a Pomona College student, as our summer intern — brought to us through our community partnership with the NCNW Pomona Chapter.

She dove right in, supporting survivors by updating training materials, and helping bring our Annual Alumni Event to life. She recently presented her experience at Pomona College, and it was a hit! She stated, "I presented my internship experience with EOF on Thursday and people loved it so much. Thank you for teaching me so much."

Thank you, Ducquaine, for the heart and hustle you brought this summer — and to NCNW Pomona Chapter for connecting us with such an incredible young leader.

Healing doesn't happen alone — and neither should the work of funding it. 💙

While gala season is here, remember: supporting survivors isn't a once-a-year moment. EOF offers monthly giving opportunities all year long, and the ONE Collective makes it easy to show up consistently — at whatever tier fits you:

Galas are a celebration — but monthly giving is the steady, year-round support that keeps this work moving forward. There's no wrong amount to give, just a decision to show up every month for someone who needs it.

This September, marks both National Su***de Prevention Month and National Recovery Month — two causes where the language we use can mean the difference between someone reaching out for help or staying silent.

That's why we're sharing this piece from Polaris Project on getting the words right when talking about human trafficking. The same care applies across this work: how we talk about su***de, addiction, and exploitation shapes whether people feel safe enough to ask for support.
