SUMMARY:Blackout Trafficking 2020
DESCRIPTION:Everyone deserves to be free. Join us in March for a 31-day challenge to fight human trafficking.\nSign up today to join the fight against human trafficking in March. Blackout Trafficking Participants commit to wearing the same black item for the 31 days of March. Pick a shirt\, a dress\, a tie\, shoes – the choice is yours! \nONE MONTH. ONE ITEM. ONE CAUSE. \nThroughout the month\, we encourage you to learn more about the real issues of human trafficking locally\, nationally\, and internationally. Then share what you learn\, especially when people start to notice you are wearing the same thing! \nLIMITING OUR FREEDOM TO BRING FREEDOM TO OTHERS. \nBlackout Trafficking connects you with multiple organizations involved in fighting human trafficking. Use March to fundraise for the organization of your choice. Let your friends and family know what is being done to stop trafficking and give them a way to help as well. Once you sign up\, we will connect you with the resources to create a fundraising page. \nIf you want to learn more about human trafficking\, help others know about this issue\, and do something meaningful about it\, we invite you to join us in March for the Blackout Trafficking Challenge. Not sure about joining us yet? Download our 10 Simple Ways to Fight Trafficking\, here. \nChange the World with Us\nOnce a year individuals from around the country commit to igniting a broader awareness of human trafficking while raising funds for anti-trafficking organizations. The method is simple–wear your chosen black item of clothing each and every day for a month. \nThis project was created by an average person for ordinary people.  We’ve had men\, women\, and even children join us. It doesn’t matter who you are\, what you do for a living\, or what stage of life you’re in (student\, stay-at-home parent\, professional\, or retired!) Everyone can make an impact. If you want to make a difference\, this is an easy way to change the world.

SUMMARY:Trafficking Panel & Book Signing with Survivor Leader Rebecca Bender & Local Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Hope Initiative is proud to present a free and open to the public evening with a panel of experts in the field of human trafficking. Rebecca Bender is the CEO & Founder\, RBI\, Survivor Leader and Author of In Pursuit of Love. Rebecca thought she found her fairytale when she moved to Las Vegas with her boyfriend\, but her dream became her nightmare when her boyfriend became her pimp at the age of 19. Trapped in a life of chaos\, coerced into prostitution\, abused and controlled by her trafficker\, Rebecca was forced into sex trafficking for nearly six years. Many attempted escapes\, two brandings\, and several pimps later\, Federal Investigators raided the home\, allowing her an eventual avenue for escape. These days Rebecca can be found either telling her story or helping others tell their own. Her trainings in this underground world are highly sought after by the FBI\, Homeland Security\, undercover\, SVU medical professional and prosecutors. Rebecca will have her recently released book\, “In Pursuit of Love” available for purchase. \nWe are also proud to announce we have Suzanne Schultz joining us this evening. She is the Family Crimes Coordinator with the San Joaquin County District Attorneys Office and also the Director of the San Joaquin Family Justice Center. She has been on the frontlines of fighting trafficking right here in San Joaquin County for many years. Melissa Hermann\, Founder of Emerge Counseling & Consulting will also be joining us on the panel. She has over 19 years of experience working with non-profits\, children-at-risk\, and victims of trafficking & trauma. \nThis is an opportunity to get up close with this panel of experts in the field of human trafficking. You will have the opportunity to hear Rebecca Bender’s story\, pick up a copy of her book “In Pursuit of Love”\, & see how you can get involved in the fight to end trafficking right here in the Central Valley.
