but not picked up for Open Space Time

(pages left on the floor)

  • How can we create a methodical plan for educating across sections – pastors, colleges& Universities, health providers, etc…

  • State – Human Trafficking Task Force – What do they do?  How are they funded?

  • What can we do to clearly connect the local & personal to the global or international without objectifying the people affected by trafficking “over there”?

  • The Rescue & Restore program really caught my attention.  I need more details / information on this to take home to my organization & church. (NOTE website for Rescue and Restore is www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking/index.html

  • Polaris Project is there an office near you?  Find Out!  www.polarisProject.org

  • Should we host a similar conference with more international participates?

  • Are any denominations writing any youth education programs on human trafficking?

  • How do we create a clearing house/ gathering place to list and share TIP resources and information?

  • How have you seen any strategic connections between addressing sex trafficking and faith-based community organizing?
