Description

Dock Phillip Ellis, Jr. was an American professional baseball player. A pitcher, Ellis played in Major League Baseball from 1968 through 1979 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, and New York Mets Dock Ellis continued pushing for change and illuminating places where he saw injustice.

We are dedicated to providing opportunities, resources and advocacy to minority communities to improve the lives of the poorly served, underserved, never served and those traumatized by the atrocities of human trafficking.


Black women, girls, and gender nonconforming people are disproportionately represented as victims/survivors of trafficking. Black women make up 40% of people who have survived sex trafficking. Black youth comprise 51% of all prostitution arrests for those under age 18-more than any other racial group.


We recognized that the way to end human trafficking is by bring people together to create solutions that break the cycle of human trafficking in communities most vulnerable. Join a championship team of survivor advocates and help end abuse and slavery by joining The Dock Ellis Foundation by saying "it's a No-No to Human Trafficking"
