Shoe Revolt takes donations of shoes and sells them on their online boutique to raise funds for programs that support survivors of commercial sex trafficking. The executive director of one of those programs, Vashti?s Voice, explains what having Shoe Revolt?s support means, ?I am excited and grateful that Shoe Revolt is raising funds for our program. I think people need to be aware that this crime is happening in every neighborhood, not just those in less affluent areas. People tend to feel disconnected and unmoved because they do not acknowledge the presence of this crime in their own domains.?

The involvement of celebrities in Shoe Revolt?s program has greatly improved the organization?s ability to contribute to fighting sex trafficking in the United States. It also brings much more awareness to the issue in one of the most troubled states, California, as most celebrities reside here.
