Eyes on Trafficking: Join a Team for a Night of Outreach Long Beach

Take a stand against human trafficking and join us as we take to the streets of Long Beach for a night of volunteer outreach.

On January 31st, each volunteer will join us for a training, a meeting with your Team Leader, and a Rally, followed by outreach visits that you will conduct in pairs. This program is part of the Human Trafficking Outreach Project, a project that aims to implement Senate Bill 1193 throughout LA County by training volunteers to visit businesses mandated to put up posters with human trafficking hotline numbers on them. Such businesses include bars, urgent care centers, emergency rooms, strip clubs, train, bus, and rail stations, and more. There has been a 250% increase in the number of calls to the local hotline since we started this Project to get the posters up. Join us to make a difference!
