SHADE is a remarkable organization that stands as a strong leader in the abolitionist movement. It is one of the first to give recognition to the contributions of survivors. I am proud to stand in support of, and in partnership with, Sarai Smith Mazariegos and SHADE. I am especially thankful for the courage and selflessness of SHADE members who inspire others.
