Your holiday shopping should 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫, not exploit.⁣ ⁣ We made an ethical brand directory this year to make it easier to shop brands & companies doing their part to put people over profit. One of those companies is @thearisebox 🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ The Arise Box is fighting human trafficking through subscription boxes. When you purchase a quarterly box, not only do you get 4-5 ethical items curated for world changers but you also help build care packages for survivors with every purchase.⁣ ⁣ We’re unboxing the winter box and giving you a discount code on subscriptions today on our Instagram story.

When we started learning about the connection between the fashion industry and human trafficking, we knew that we needed to partner and learn from brands who were living out fair trade and ethical practices well. One of those brands that has guided us through this is @matatraders ⁣ ⁣ Mata Traders work centers around relationships — relationships with their artisans, their partners, and their employees. They are doing something right (and we are just over here taking notes 📝.⁣ ⁣ Swipe through for some major Dressember outfit inspo from their team 👉🏽 and then make your way over to the blog to hear from their co-founder about how it all started in a Northwestern dormitory!

How much do you know about the vulnerability of LGBTQ youth when it comes to human trafficking? Head to our ‘Learn’ story highlight or IG story to learn more through our interactive quiz. The first step is knowing, because when you know, you grow. 〰️ LGBTQ identifying youth are 3-7 times more likely to engage in survival sex to meet basic needs — like shelter, food, drugs and toiletries (according to the Trafficking Resource Center). With June being pride month, we think it’s important to see how we can play a part in protecting and ending the exploitation of this vulnerable youth population. This year, for the first time we partnered with @youthsparkinc to help fund their Youth Services Center that offers program tracks for LGBTQ youth in Atlanta, Georgia. Together, we can end the social stigma that puts vulnerable populations at risk of trafficking. (at ROW DTLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYFzgLjTiE/?igshid=h4ouinxsgkf7
