Virtual Freedom Coalition Meeting
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 | 5:30 – 7:00 pm

Featured presentation:
“New” University of Michigan Human Trafficking Law Clinic & Lab

Presented by:
Bridgette A. Carr, Founding Director of UofM Law School’s Human Trafficking Clinic

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this session was postponed during the 2023 Statewide Summit
and will now be presented during our February Freedom Coalition meeting.
Consider joining us for this special occasion!

For over a decade, the Clinic relied solely on legal tools and direct representation to fight human trafficking. The Lab, launched in 2022, endeavors to create change at policy, service, and industry levels through collaborative partnerships across the nonprofit, corporate, and governmental sectors. They believe the law is an incomplete, imperfect solution to reducing exploitation and that interdisciplinary, cross-industry collaboration is necessary. The vision for the Clinic + Lab partnership is that the work with individual survivors in the Clinic will help ensure the Lab is victim-centered and informed by lived experience.

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 meet virtually 4x a year 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.
