Support S.O.A.P. by allowing your hotels to attach a label to your bathroom soaps to protect sex trafficked girls

The Issue

Hi,

My name is Cassie and I work at one of the Four Points by Sheraton locations.  We had a couple of women come into the location and ask us if we could take their flyers to hang up in employee areas as well as soaps to place in each of our bathrooms in which had attached Red labels.  

These labels are very important because if a girl has been abducted and is being forced to perform sexual acts by their "pimp" or other abductor they are required to go into the bathroom in between "clients" to wash themselves.  Once they pick up the soap and turn it around they will see this number and be able to call for help.

It is almost impossible to escape these abductors once these girls have been taken and they are very good at hiding from law enforcement.  For example: one of their biggest uses of advertisement is Backpage.com (which also should be dealt with) and due to them being able to hide these girls identities, as well as age, law enforcement has an almost impossible time monitoring and shutting down these profiles.

We were allowed to take the flyers and information sheets to put behind the scenes, but unfortunately, due to brand standards or "red tape" our location as well as a lot of other hotel chains will not allow these live saving soaps, so I am calling upon the CEOs of these chains to see what good these labels can do and I need your help to do it!

Please sign this petition, so our girls can finally get the help they need, so they may go back home to safety!
