Community Outreach Event - Linking Freedom in Our Backyard

Our chapter is proud to join MPI Global and take a stand against human trafficking.  MPI Georgia and PCMA Southeast chapters are partnering to volunteer with IN OUR BACKYARD . A one-day public awareness and outreach event, “Linking Freedom in Our Backyard,” to be held on Saturday, January 26.

In Our Backyard is a year round anti-trafficking organization that works to eradicate sex trafficking through partnerships with top law enforcement, nonprofits, and government agencies across America. Volunteering for this event is a great way to learn about human trafficking, raise awareness of human trafficking, and take a tangible, meaningful action to help stop it in our communities.

Event Components:

• Program & Training: The beginning of the event will include a presentation on human trafficking and what usually happens with human trafficking surrounding the Super Bowl. It will conclude with training and preparation for the outreach component.
• Outreach: The second portion of the event will involve volunteer teams of 2-4 people driving to local businesses (primarily convenience stores) on assigned routes and distributing key awareness materials, including Freedom Stickers and Missing Children’s Books. These businesses become eyes and ears in the community to spot human trafficking and save lives.
