“The unchecked plague of slavery, rape, trafficking, illegal detention, land theft, police abuse and other brutality against the poor is a global crisis that undermines the well-intentioned fight for their freedom. Unless we STAND against it, nothing will change” (stand-for-freedom.com).

As some of you may know, January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. George Fox is honoring this in a few ways, one of which is hosting an information night on Portland human trafficking awareness.

The event, hosted by the Social Work Club, is set from 6:30 to 8 p.m. this Thursday, Jan. 22, in Hoover 105. We will host two well-informed speakers from the Human Trafficking Division of the Portland Police Bureau: Sergeant Chuck Lovell and Detective Brendan McGuire. They will help us to see a clearer picture of trafficking in Portland and focus on awareness, prevention and action.

Snacks and refreshments will be served, and we will provide an opportunity for Q&A afterwards. Please join us in this important event, and learn what you can do about human trafficking in your neighborhood!
