In Our Backyard: Labor Trafficking and What We Can Do
Event Information
Description
When people are forced to work through violence and threats in our community, it can be a hidden and nearly inescapable fate. The Multifaith Coalition to Address Human Trafficking Through the Lens of Compassion sponsors this event, In Our Backyard, so we can face the realities of labor trafficking in the Northwest.
The evening will include the story of one trafficking survivor's experience in his own words, as well as an opportunity for faith communities to come together in a strategy to help other victims. Because everyone deserves safety, freedom, and hope.
Reception: 6:30-7pm
Program: 7pm - 8:30pm
