One Heart Global

This is what advocacy looks like.

The Senate passed Senator Josh Hawley's provision to provide $ 108.5million to hire 200 new child exploitation investigators and analysts, a historic investment in the fight against child exploitation and trafficking.

This milestone follows years of advocacy by child protection leaders, including Tim Tebow and the Tim Tebow Foundation, who have worked tirelessly to bring greater attention and resources to the fight against child exploitation.

For those working on the front lines, this is more than a policy victory!
It means more investigators.
More analysts.
More resources.
More children identified.
More victims rescued.

For years, professionals in this field have been asked to do more with less while facing growing threats, increasing caseloads, and rapidly evolving technology. This investment represents a significant step toward strengthening the response and supporting those dedicated to protecting children.

Operation Light Shine is grateful to stand alongside organizations, advocates, law enforcement professionals, survivors, and policymakers who continue working toward a future where every child is safe from exploitation.

Today, we celebrate a win for children. A win for those on the front lines. And a reminder of what is possible when people come together around a shared mission to protect the most vulnerable among us.
