Please contact your legislators (use this link: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislators/house) and ask them to support SF497. For talking points, download the letter our Executive Director sent to all her legislators. Click here to download it. Here is an excerpt:

Due to Michael Ferjak’s recent testimony to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Iowa’s efforts to combat human trafficking, our national leaders are expecting Iowa to serve as a model state for addressing this crime. Mr. Ferjak’s strategic planning for Operation Detour, the Iowa Office of the Attorney General’s anti-trafficking initiative, however, requires funding for successful implementation.

Thanks for your support!
