SUMMARY:Freedom Coalition Meeting (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:FREEDOM COALITION MEETING\nTuesday\, April 26th\, 2022\n5:30 – 7:00 PM (EST) *virtual\nFeatured Presentation:\n“Reach victims of sexual exploitation with cutting-edge technology”\n\n\nGuest Speaker: Tiffany Davis\nAccount Manager\, The Lantern Project\nTiffany has a wide variety of experience. She has worked for large and small corporations\, nonprofits\, and state government. Her experience spans the business world\, social enterprise\, anti-trafficking work\, and the child welfare system. Tiffany’s goal in life is to leave the world a little better than she found it.\n\nThe Lantern Project aims to end sexual exploitation in our communities by changing culture through prevention\, intervention\, and transformation. We intervene through technology. We provide a secure\, scalable\, and proven tool to reach people who are exploited online. Freedom Signal is an online platform that anti-trafficking organizations and local advocates use to directly serve survivors of online sexual exploitation. We envision a world where nobody is exploited for sex and our service aims to connect people with services for autonomy and self-determination.\nWe enable direct service organizations to send targeted text-based outreach to potential victims identified through web scraping. When a potential victim replies\, it enables advocates to build trust and offer support. Compared to in-person or street outreach\, victims who were sent direct text outreach were 244% more likely to engage with services according to one service-providing organization. They also found text outreach to be 10x more efficient than traditional street-based outreach.\nFreedom Signal’s outreach technology was designed by software engineers and survivors of online sex trafficking to address the specific needs of this population while ensuring a safe\, direct channel of communication.  Click here to learn more…\n\n\nThe Freedom Coalition brings together experienced community advocates and professionals for a unified approach to addressing human trafficking in Michigan. We plan to meet virtually the 4th Tuesday of every other month for the sharing of statewide updates\, new research\, best practices\, case studies\, education\, and specialized training.
