Happy Labor Day! Join our CEO @RochelleKeyhan tomorrow on the Next Step Forward podcast where she'll talk about labor and sex trafficking in the United States, criminal justice approaches to fighting trafficking, and our hope for a future free from exploitation.
@RochelleKeyhan is the Chief Executive Officer of @CollectLib, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit committed to eliminating human trafficking. She joins the #NextStepsForward audience tomorrow to speak about how she develops and executes the organization’s strategic direction and collaborations focused on disrupting specific types of human trafficking.
She was formerly the Director of Disruption Strategies at Polaris, the nonprofit organization that operates the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. Before joining Polaris, Rochelle spent six years as a prosecutor of gender-based violence crimes in Philadelphia. As an Assistant District Attorney, Rochelle championed the need for increased investigation and prosecution of human trafficking in Philadelphia, successfully prosecuting the first two trials herself. For her tireless efforts, Rochelle has received numerous honors, including the 2018 Thomson Reuters Foundation Stop Slavery Hero.
With a goal to encourage the existing anti-human trafficking community and other stakeholders to think in new and innovative ways, Rochelle will:
✅ discuss how Collective Liberty is similar to and different from other anti-trafficking groups,
✅ take the audience through the four main action areas in the Collective Liberty model, which includes breaking down silos, elevating local heroes, thinking outside the box, and challenging the narrative
✅ place a spotlight on labor trafficking and how to prevent it.
Join us at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT on @VoiceAmericaTRN via the link below or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Honored that when Anatolian Press wanted to help stop human trafficking, a #Texas #police officer recommended they support us. The Autumn Tales donation helps us provide training in an interested but underfunded county.

Victims of #humantrafficking don't need to have crossed a border or be #immigrants. However, if you know a non-citizen who is a victim of human trafficking or another serious crime like domestic violence, they may be eligible for a T-Visa for a U-Visa.
We're excited to announce this week's #WednesdayWarrior is CEO of @HRFK_ORG, @DoldJames! James's dedication to protecting #children from exploitation continues to inspire us. Part of ending cycles of abuse is ensuring vulnerable child victims are not criminalized. #SarasLaw

Most victims of human trafficking don't realize they are being trafficked. In fact, many are manipulated to believe this is normal or they caused their own abuse. Some survivors will even defend their trafficker at first. l8r.it/1Jb1
We offer some of the most effective trainings for prosecutors, law enforcement, and other professionals who want to identify and sttop traffickers. Request more information at htfusion.org.
Prosecution is the weakest link in holding human traffickers accountable. We hold trainings to help prosecutors take law enforcement's efforts and successfully convict traffickers across the country.

FBI's Most Wanted Trafficker Arrested in Spain, Priest Charged with Sex Trafficking - January 18th HT News Bulletin - mailchi.mp/97d1dfc3bed0/huma…
This January 11th we are joining the #WearBlue campaign to spread the word about human trafficking and take over social media. Tag us with your selfies and share why you care about #HumanTraffickingAwareness.
Traffickers often use businesses as fronts for trafficking activity, but they also exploit victims in houses. If many cabs or cars regularly come to an otherwise quiet home, or you notice some residents not leaving, that may be an indication that something is wrong.
Are you visiting your #elderly family members this season? Many people are surprised to learn that elderly and disabled adults are labor trafficked, sex trafficked, and benefits trafficked in care facilities. Unlicensed #carehomes are especially high-risk settings.
NXIVM Leader's Appeal Denied, FLDS Kingpin Charged with Sex Trafficking - December 14th HT News Bulletin - mailchi.mp/558fb8c59a8c/huma…
Many #humantrafficking victims get emergency support through the same organizations that support #domesticviolence victims across the country. Asking #rural victims to go to faraway resources is a huge barrier for them, making them less likely to get help.
#ICCR offers training & tools to #rural communities. This then allows professionals in rural communities to better serve #survivors in their area. Visit our website to learn more: instituteccr.org/
What do we do to support #lawenforcement and code enforcement officers as they take on #humantrafficking? Hear it straight from them.

The owner of #CityXGuide pled guilty to a range of charges under #FOSTA after ignoring cases of #sextrafficking on his sites. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison, forfeited $15M in assets, and his sites were seized and shut down.
