ATTEND THE LAUNCH OF NCJW BCS ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING POSTER CAMPAIGN A NEW ADVOCACY/COMMUNITY SERVICE VOLUNTEER PROJECT

Tuesday, September 10, 2019, 12 pm
Temple Emeth, 1666 Windsor Road, Teaneck

According to statistics, there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking worldwide- 5.5 million of whom are children.  Many of these children come from homes in our neighborhoods.  To help end this terrible situation, you can assist by distributing posters that highlight the dangers of trafficking and provide the National hotline number to report trafficking and seek help.

NCJW BCS volunteers will fan out into Bergen County communities, placing the posters in strategic locations and leaving Red Flag Cards, explaining the signs of trafficking, at local business.

We are partnering with NCJW Essex County Section who developed the materials and began distributing them in April.   Sheri Trugman and Carol Cohen, NCJW Essex County Co-Chairs, will attend our launch and share their experience.   You will leave the meeting ready to ask businesses to display posters and Red Flag Cards.

To volunteer for this project, contact Cathy Mirra at 201-342-2240, cmirra30@gmail.com.
