Human Trafficking Prevention Alliance Enters Strategic Co-Branding Agreement with DHS Know2Protect® Campaign
Sparks, NV — June 1, 2025 — The Human Trafficking Prevention Alliance (HTPA) is proud to announce a new co-branding agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Know2Protect Campaign, marking a significant milestone in the fight against online child exploitation and human trafficking.
Through this agreement, HTPA is authorized to use the Know2Protect Campaign’s educational materials and visual assets, including the right to copy, display, and distribute official campaign materials containing the DHS Seal and various Know2Protect Campaign Trademarks. This collaboration empowers HTPA to amplify its outreach and educational efforts with trusted, government-backed resources that are proven to raise awareness and drive action.
“This collaborative opportunity represents a powerful alignment of mission and message,” said Janet Lombardo, Founder and CEO of HTPA. “By integrating Know2Protect’s authoritative materials into our programming, we can expand our impact and better equip communities to recognize, resist, and report online child sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as human trafficking.”
“Support and collaboration with organizations like the Human Trafficking Prevention Alliance and communities across the country are absolutely critical to our mission,” said Kate Kennedy, Know2Protect campaign director. “By working together, we can raise awareness, share trusted tools, and empower more families to protect children and teens from online threats. It takes all of us to build a safer digital world for the next generation.”
The license, authorized under DHS Delegation Number 10001 § II(B)(8) (April 28, 2014), and pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 181 et seq., allows HTPA to use Know2Protect campaign materials under specific guidelines. As a formal supporter of the campaign, HTPA is committed to upholding the integrity and standards associated with the use of these materials and the Government Visual Identities.
The Know2Protect campaign is a national initiative designed to educate youth, caregivers, and trusted adults about online safety and the risks of exploitation. By joining forces, HTPA and DHS aim to extend the reach of this critical message and foster safer communities across the country.
