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. Consider joining our network! Sign-up for the Freedom Coalition email list to have invites to bi-monthly meetings sent straight to your inbox.

SUMMARY:Southwest Michigan Community Events with Leslie F. King-Friday
DESCRIPTION:Join the Southwest Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Month\, and Victim Rights Month as we welcome nationally-known author\, speaker\, and sex trafficking survivor Leslie King-Friday.\n  \n \nLeslie King-Friday was trafficked at the age of 15 for over 20 years in Grand Rapids Michigan. On July 4th\, 2000 Leslie’s life was changed forever. Through sincerity of her heart and an answer from God\, Leslie was given a new lease on life and set to starting her life’s work. In 2005\, Leslie utilized her experience\, expertise\, and inspiring example of a renewed lifestyle to open Sacred Beginnings\, a safe haven that offers hope\, and healing to trafficking victims. Leslie consults with law enforcement agencies\, human service professionals\, clergy\, and others requesting direction and understanding in working with prostituted individuals. She also speaks at various conferences and academic institutions on the issue of human trafficking. Her awards and recognitions include: 2005 Grand Rapids\, Woman of the Year nominee\, 2008 YWCA Advocate of the Year\, 2011 Rising Hero Award\, 2014 “50 Most Influential Women in West Michigan”\, 2018 Michigan Liberator Award\, 2019 Grand Rapids Negro Business and Professional Women’s Club Certificate of Achievement\, 2021 African American Leadership Award\, 2021 BBB Trust Award. She recently published a book titled “When Angels Fight” that she will also reference during the presentation (more info about the book below). \nLeslie will give us a deeper understanding of Human Trafficking and help us think about what it looks like for us as a community to help prevent trafficking from happening and to support survivors. After the evening event\, we will have a panel of professionals who will answer questions related to how we are addressing trafficking specifically in our area. We are thankful to have Brook Thomas\, Forensic Interviewer at the Children’s Advocacy Center; Allie Kibler-Campbell\, Prevention Specialist at the Children’s Advocacy Center; Jane Wainwright\, Asst. Prosecuting Attorney at the Prosecutors Office; Carolyn Groen\, Victim’s Advocate at the Prosecutor’s Officer; Alyssa Pliml\, SANE nurse at Spectrum Health Lakeland; Rachel Struble\, therapist at The Cora Lamping Center and D/Lt. Greg Sanders with the Berrien County Police Department. \n  \nThe long-anticipated biography of Leslie’s story is now available. “When Angels Fight” is a recount of how Leslie became a victim and through her life in prostitution became a survivor. “When Angels Fight” not only recounts Leslie’s story\, but it gives readers an opportunity to get involved with local agencies to help fight against human trafficking and educate themselves and others. \nYou can find “When Angels Fight” online and in stores at Amazon.com\, Barnes and Noble\, and Schuler’s Bookstore. \n*Please inquire about purchasing a copy as they may be available after speaking engagements* \n  \n  \nYou will have 2 opportunities to join for this event on Friday\, April 22: \n2:00pm (note there will not be a panel following this event) \nSouthwestern Michigan College \nStudent Activity Center Theatre \n58900 Cherry Grove Rd\, Dowagiac\, MI 49047 \n  \n6:30pm \nLake Michigan College \nTodd Center Conference Room \n2785 E Napier Ave \nBenton Harbor\, MI 49022 \n\n\n  \n  \n  \nA big thank you to our sponsor Stevensville Honor Credit Union!
