Human Trafficking Action Summit

The public is invited to a Human Action Trafficking Summit to be held on Thursday, September 10 at 7 p.m. at the Historic USO Building, 230 W. Ridgecrest Blvd.  The summit will feature an encore presentation of the powerful documentary film “A Trafficked Life” which explores the problem of human trafficking in the San Joaquin Valley. The film will be followed by a question and answer session with the film’s director, Michael Fagans, Karin Stone, Director of Client Services at the Women’s Shelter High Desert, and other guests to be announced. Human Trafficking is a modern form of slavery—the trade of humans for commercial sexual activity and forced labor. It is thought to be one of the fastest-growing activities of trans-national criminal organizations. A global problem, human trafficking is present in many California cities and in our valley. For more information,  please call:  760-977-7905 or visit: www.touragainsttrafficking.org.
