From: Maureen Smith, chief communications officer, Office of Communications

The City of Atlanta is offering free human trafficking awareness workshops to faith leaders in advance of this summer’s FIFA World Cup matches. Law enforcement and anti-trafficking advocates know that trafficking increases exponentially during large international events. Being aware of how to recognize trafficking and knowing what to do if someone asks for help can save lives.  

Please see the attached flyer for a schedule of the trainings. The city will email you the address of the training after you have registered. Please feel free to share with your church staff.
