Gina is the founder and executive director of the survivor-led nonprofit organization, We RISE NJ, formerly Paying it Forward Foundation. Her commitment stems from her experience as a survivor of childhood sexual and physical abuse and of human trafficking. It is also rooted in her determination to ensure that no one else should endure the same trauma. Gina’s impact can be found throughout the New Jersey legislative process, within organizations that support human trafficking causes, and in the personal stories of the survivors who have been inspired by Gina’s story.
I stand in total awe of Gina Cavallo's faith and courage. Testifying before legislative committees on the record and in the public eye is a daunting experience even for veteran witnesses. I have no doubt that the bill was passed unanimously i both houses and signed by the Governor into law because of your courage to confront the memory of past experiences, and the strength of your trust in a benevolent God that is indispensable to every healing process.
