The purpose of MAP’s Freedom Coalition is to bring together experienced community advocates and professionals for a unified and comprehensive approach to addressing human trafficking in Michigan. Our vision is to eradicate human trafficking through collaborative efforts in the areas of demand abatement, survivor support, school outreach, and community awareness and engagement.

We plan to meet virtually the 4th Tuesday of every other month for the sharing of statewide updates, best practices, new research and resources, specialized training, and more. Attendees are also provided time to network and share updates with one another.
