Information

Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that impacts an estimated 40 million people around the world, and it is happening in every community within the United States. This roundtable discussion is for participants to share what they know about human trafficking, ask questions, and brainstorm ideas about ways to take action as prophetic acts of resilience within a culture that sees humans as commodities to exploit for profit and pleasure.
