Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and yet many media outlets had nothing in their publications and I only heard it mentioned once on the air (in my local area); Media Matters and today is a day you can be a part of the solution and yet many media outlets choose to ignore one of most heinous acts against humanity and most importantly our children, we want to know why? Is it so difficult to acknowledge our children? You, the media, need to be the Voice for the Voiceless and today is just one day that could save a life…start the conversation today, it’s not too late. HOTLINE: 888-3737-888 www.NWCAT.org
