TAKE ACTION!
Protect human rights and provide support to victims of sex trafficking with Met Council and S.O.A.P. (Protect Our Children from Prostitution) this coming week!
Over 400 volunteers in New York and New Jersey will come together to distribute tens of thousands of soap bars labeled with the National Human Trafficking Hotline and posters of missing children to hotels ahead of the Super Bowl. Large sporting events like the Super Bowl attracts thousands of tourists each year and is linked to higher incidents of sex trafficking.
By providing these outreach materials to hotels and
making the hotline more readily available, we will increase the likelihood of
reaching a missing child or sex trafficking victim. You can be a part of our campaign! We can only reach these victims with your help- luckily, there are different options for you to participate during the day or after work:
Midtown Manhattan
Wednesday, January 29th- 10am to 1pm
Before we head out to canvass hotels, we need your help to rewrap bars of soap with the vital information and National Human Trafficking Hotline. This is a great opportunity for shy or young volunteers who still want to make an impact on this growing issue.
- Individuals and groups welcome.
- Volunteers must be 14+.
- You MUST register to attend this event. Please click here to register.
