Our vision is to eradicate human trafficking through collaborative efforts in the areas of prevention, training, demand abatement, survivor support, and community awareness and engagement. The Freedom Coalition plans to meet virtually the 4th Tuesday of every other month for the sharing of new research, best practices, case studies, education, and specialized training.
