National Human Trafficking Day

Today is National Human Trafficking Day. While we were taking exams and preparing for Midterm Exams next week, our brothers and sisters are attending Rally's with our Freedom Partners in Washington DC and Polaris Project in Trenton.

Ariana Taveras and Caroline Antonio, Graduates of the Class of 2012, returned for a visit to place a "Hero for Justice Challenge" before the student community. Together, and as individuals, the Power of One and the Power of We, we can do something to help put an end to human trafficking. Human trafficking is a gross injustice that affects 27 million young women & children in the world. In the United States, a young person is trafficked every ten minutes. "It is evil that good people like you and me must stop". An 18th philosopher, Edmund Burke, once said: "All it takes for evil to excel is for good people to do nothing."

Ariana invited every one to take out their cell phone and place the National Human Trafficking Hotline in their contact list. If you are reading this blog, we invite you to add this number to your cell phone: 1-888-3737-888. This number may be called if you see anything suspicious or need help or advice. Callers remain anonymous.
