CAS Rally For Stronger Human Trafficking Laws June 28, 2010

WHAT BETTER WAY TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER? Take a day off, hop on the Amtrak and head to our State Capitol Hill for this important rally. Bring signs, family, friends, and pets. Wear your CAS T-shirts. It’s time for justice! Be the voice for the victims, for human dignity. We will call for stronger human trafficking laws in California and stress the growing problem of human trafficking in the state.

They wonʼt be able to ignore who we are and what we have to say when we are there in front of them showing the thousands of signatures we have collected.

“Human trafficking is a criminal business that profits from enslaving people for sexual servitude and forced labor. It is flourishing in California because the law is weak,” said Daphne Phung, executive director of California Against Slavery. “There is an urgent need for laws that would provide stiffer measures to stop traffickers, better protection for human trafficking victims, and greater funding for organizations that serve human trafficking victims. We are calling all Californians to speak up at the rally. Let’s make a big deal of a big issue.”
