Thank you for taking the first step to end human trafficking. The first step to end it is to learn how to dismantle the systems that create it. Learning how it affects real people and in real time is the way we become empowered to make a change. I have been trained over the past 7 years and walk alongside an incredible organization called The Underground New England.  Their mission is to support survivors and end human trafficking in Connecticut and New England. We know that human trafficking can happen to anyone and everyone needs training and insight.  However, I am commissioned in this season to have conversations with the church, schools, local organizations, and institutions that serve predominate populations of people of color.  Why?..... Nationally and locally there are large disparities in people of color being trafficked more than any other race. Many factors suggest people of color exhibit community-wide inherent vulnerabilities. These are due to generational trauma, historic oppression, discrimination, and other societal factors and inequities. Traffickers recognize and take advantage of people who are vulnerable in many ways. If we expose those vulnerabilities, have some dialogue, and create steps of action, I believe we are on our way to #ENDIT. Please complete the below questionnaire to begin our journey.
