National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is recognized each year on January 11th.   Activities occur around the state to build awareness of human trafficking.  Victims may be sexually exploited, endure forced labor, or be financially indebted.

Normally we would not recommend symbolism over substance, but the Dept. of Homeland Security’s #WearBlue campaign is designed to bring attention to the growing – and profitable – scourge of human trafficking.  Many of our neighbors and friends are unaware of how large a problem we face.

Let’s help raise some awareness.  Strike up a conversation with someone else about the types of trafficking.  Share on social media.  Use the hashtag.  Find out more here.

Anyone can participate, all you need is a piece of blue clothing!

Our January meeting was a conference call in case of snowy weather.  It didn’t work out that way this year, but a productive call ensued.

We reviewed our ongoing projects and decided to investigate others.  2019 is going to be an exciting year.

Please pay your dues by January 20.  New members welcome!

May every day of this year bring happiness and cheer to you and yours.  Happy 2019!

Modern Day Slavery! There’s no other name for it. A slavery driven by demand and neglect. When the value of human life is eradicated, as in our pro-death culture, good people must step up and protect those around them, as well as support the efforts of law enforcement and recovery programs.
