An estimated half-million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of sexual slavery. The women are kidnapped - or lured by traffickers who prey on their dreams of employment abroad - then they are "exported" to Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and elsewhere, where they are sold to pimps, drugged, terrorized, locked in brothels, and raped repeatedly.
These are young girls, women with families, children, parents, lives and dreams of their own. They are traded and used as objects in the most violent and brutal of ways. They are our sisters, our mothers, our daughters.
The NAAP is fighting to bring attention to this cause, to find and return these women to their homes and give them some shred of their lives back. It is our goal to raise awareness for this issue and make it a priority on the agenda of those individuals and agencies that seek to protect human rights.
You can be a part of the solution. The goal here is not only to help those in need but to also bring traffickers to justice. If you have any information about traffickers, women or children in danger, or places where you suspect these women are being held or taken, please contact us directly. Your tip can remain completely anonymous and you are ensured that we will respect your privacy while we work with authorities to bring traffickers to justice and help those in need.

Forestry is one of our greatest natural resources and a living legacy for future generations. Forest communities are one of the most important aspects of the Earth’s biosphere, covering approximately 30% of the Earth’s land area and 60% of the world’s biodiversity. On a global scale, all forests play a crucial role in climate regulation and constitute one of the major carbon sinks on earth. Their survival prevents an increase in the greenhouse effect and ensures the production of clean air.
There are a number of ways that America’s forestry is being annihilated. Development through road building, off-road vehicle usage, urbanization, deforestation, fires, oil and gas exploitation, and commercial logging are some of the highest causes destroying our forests. While some groups may claim that devastated areas are being reforested, the fact remains that even if trees are replanted, they do not grow quickly enough to recover the loss suffered, and nor does the biodiversity within these lands stabilize from the destruction of their habitat.
The NAAP is passionate about protecting and restoring America’s forest lands thought a combination of science, research, advocacy, and education. We work with volunteer experts in the field and lend our leadership to coalition efforts, establishing a broad base of support through conservation campaigns.
We have a vision for America’s most beautiful natural resource, beginning with working to protect America’s most fragile forest lands. The NAAP also works to acquire forest lands through private agreements and public purchases, including having land passed through inheritance to responsible individuals who value the ethic of conservation. We work to ensure that America’s forestry is guarded and preserved, and we welcome your cooperation in this effort.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Rita, it became more apparent than ever that efforts needed to be made for disaster relief purposes before the disasters hit. The emergency situation created by disasters, natural or otherwise, demand immediate attention; the victims need immediate help. For these reasons, The NAAP is committed to working with interested companies and individuals who would like to organize relief efforts in advance, so that in the unfortunate event of the next disaster, the American People are ready to respond.
We encourage all Americans to donate in whatever capacity possible. All donations will go toward organizing and implementing relief efforts, and offering rehabilitation for individuals and families. The NAAP greatly welcomes your contribution to help the American people.
Donate via Pay Pal or post. Please include your full name, address, and donations amount. Make all checks payable to the National Association of the American People, and specify “Relief Fund” in the memo line. If donating via Pay Pal, please send an email to donations@thenaap.org, including your full name, address, and phone number, along with your donation amount. This will allow us to recognize your contribution.
Those with additional questions or interested in volunteering their time can email us at info@thenaap.org. Please remember, that donations in kind and services are also welcomed. Some key resources which we are looking to secure are: food banks/grocers, transportation, storage, clothing, medical supplies, and volunteers.
