[CSRA Peace] Reminder-Human Trafficking Awareness Program is Tomorrow, Tue Aug 10

[CSRA Peace Alliance]

Come hear a presentation on how people in today's United States are
suffering in slavery and what you can do to help.

Chrissy White has been actively involved in doing advocacy work for Human
Trafficking Awareness since 2006. She began doing volunteer work as a Public
Relations Officer for Psalms, an advocacy group formerly Psalms Ministries,
in Easley, SC. She then went on to host lectures, a film series, and
presentations on Human Trafficking at Greenville Technical College where she
also studied at. She received training on Human Trafficking from the
Carolina Policing Institute and is now serving as the Assistant Organizer
for the South Carolina Stop Human Trafficking
<http://www.meetup.com/The-SC-STOP-Human-Trafficking-Meetup-Group/>  meet up
group, based in Greenville, SC. She currently works at a group home for
abused, neglected, and exploited teens. Chrissy recently moved to Columbia,
SC and is looking forward to continuing her advocacy work in the Midlands.

Ms. White will give an introduction to sex trafficking and labor
trafficking, with their definitions and statistics revealing their extent.
We will then watch a short film depicting human trafficking. Then we will
have a short Q&A discussion about the film and closing remarks by Ms. White.

Ms. White will have a visual display of poster boards and literature from
Rescue <http://www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking/coalition/index.html>  and
Restore.

The goal of the presentation is to define and inform the audience on sex and
labor trafficking, discuss local issues that relate to it, and inform the
audience about how they can get involved in advocating against human
trafficking.

The event begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, August 10, at the Wallace Library on
Laney <http://www.meetup.com/CSRA-Peace-Alliance/calendar/13448222>  Walker
Blvd in Augusta, GA.
