A Mission That Matters: About Reset180

Since 2010, Reset180 has been making a direct impact in the lives of human trafficking survivors across the D.C. metro region, including Northern Virginia. Based in Reston, VA, Reset180 is committed to providing trauma-informed support services that help survivors rebuild their lives while raising awareness about the pervasive issue of human trafficking in our communities.

Northern Virginia's proximity to major transportation hubs—such as Dulles and Reagan International Airports, interstate highways, and railways—makes it a prime target for traffickers. Reset180 combats this hidden crisis through:

• Survivor Support: Providing wrap-around case management services, including medical care, legal assistance, housing, and financial aid.
• Community Awareness: Offering educational programs to schools, businesses, and law enforcement agencies to help identify and prevent trafficking.
• Advocacy & Outreach: Engaging with policymakers and the public to push for stronger protections and comprehensive survivor support.

How Your Support Makes a Difference:

• 💙 $100/month provides household necessities for one survivor.
• 💙 $250/month covers groceries for two weeks.
• 💙 $1000/month secures housing for a survivor and her children.
• 💙 $2000/month ensures full supportive care for two survivors.

Even if you cannot attend the event, you can still support Reset180’s mission by making a donation today.
