Last week, ten of our Campus Ministers who are known as Benedictine Cor Defenders met with Mayor Bollwage to discuss their continued desire to help raise awareness against the dangers of human trafficking, modern day slavery in our country. According to the President's Advisory Council,
"the Mayor's Offices plays a pivotal role to oversee the work of law enforcement in their towns and counties, but also have important convening power at the local level."
Education is the key to keep our young people safe. It has been said, "knowledge is power". Human Trafficking is the second fastest growing crime in our country. It can happen anywhere to anyone. It knows no race, creed, gender, nationality, or geographic locale. The Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives have an informative age-sensitive educational curriculum that draws upon the lessons of history to empower our young people to not be deceived and to take action to keep others safe.
There is a program that shares, "If you See Something, Say Something." If you see any of the warning signs, there is a 24 hour National Hotline Number for anonymous tips and or resources.
