January 11, 2012 National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and we hope you'll take a just a few moments of your time to help lend a voice to Sara Kruzan, a human trafficking victim who has been in prison for the last 17 years after she killed the man who raped her at age 11 and forced her into prostitution at age 13. At only 16 years old Sara was tried as an adult, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

On Wednesday, January 11, Sara needs your help. Please call Governor Brown and ask him to grant Sara time served. Here’s what to do:

1) Call Governor Brown (916) 445-2841.

If you are calling from California:

Hello, my name is _________ from _________, CA and I would like to urge you to publicly support clemency for Sara Kruzan.

She has spent the last 17 years of her life in prison and during that time she has earned a college degree and earned the recognition of the corrections officers. Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and I hope you’ll use your power to grant her freedom. Thank you for your time.
