The Los Angeles area Leagues of Women Voters has been investigating the human trafficking going on right under our noses and we need to share what we have learned. Human trafficking has become a serious problem everywhere, but also here in our own neighborhoods. The gangs have become involved and find it much more lucrative than the drug dealing.
The Los Angeles Police Department is one of the many organizations very much involved in trying to educate the community and help solve the problem, especially with the young people who get caught up in various types of trafficking. We hope to bring in the whole community to learn what is going on, how to identify trafficking in our stores, in our shops, in our neighborhood. Their comprehensive presentation will be very enlightening and perhaps surprising. Please join us to see what is going on and what is being done about it…..even what you can do to help.
