The U.S. Department of State estimates between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year. Millions more are enslaved within national borders. Human trafficking is truly a world-wide phenomenon -- paradoxically hidden in the shadows and out in the open for all to see.

 

There are currently several ways you can help Chapter 61 Ministries in the fight against human trafficking, modern day slavery and abuse. They are:

 

Truckers Against Trafficking Campaign: This outreach project of Chapter 61 Ministries enlists the aid of truckers and trucking companies to join in the fight against human trafficking across the highways of America and in truck stops, gas stations, rest stops and any other place they might see or hear of trafficking taking place. You can help with the work we're doing by giving to support our efforts. Your tax deductible donation will be used for such initiatives as training for truckers, education/awareness, truckers against trafficking identification materials, wallet cards with potential red flags and questions to ask, brochures, posters and promotional materials.

To give to the Truckers Against Trafficking Campaign, click on the Donate button down below and give online through our PayPal account. Or make your check payable to Chapter 61 Ministries and send it to Chapter 61 Ministries, 8222 Parkland Hills Dr., San Antonio, TX 78254.

 

 

You can also help Chapter 61 Ministries by:

 

Praying: Pray for the Lord to lead and guide us as we work with others to fight injustice. Pray about what God would have you do. Pray for our initiatives to be successful, for justice to be served and for lives to be changed because of them.

 

Working: Contact us if you'd like to know how you can become involved in the fight against injustice, human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

Other Ways You Can Help Now:

--Research more about Human Trafficking and educate yourself and others. Visit the websites of the NGOs (Non Government Organizations) on our LINKS page and download their free training guides and pamphlets that can be shared with other people.

--Invite a speaker to provide training and education to your local faith or community organization.

--Successful victim identification is often done by people in the community. Do you know the possible signs of trafficking activity in your community? You could be saving someone’s life. See the list of what to look for at humantrafficking.org.

--Help to bring an end to domestic trafficking by volunteering with any local anti-human trafficking organization.

--Call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1.888.373.7888 if you suspect anything. Keep the number handy.

--Buy fairly traded goods. Human trafficking and unfair trade practices go hand in hand.  Go to Transfair USA and  Better World Shopper for products, locations, information and a list of the companies that are making an effort to keep their products slave free.

--Adopt-A-Freeway. Or at least a portion of it. You’ve seen communities do this for clean up. Distribute flyers and speak to gas station staff about what to do if trafficking is suspected.

--Go to your Neighborhood Watch, share at your place of employment, talk to school teachers, organize radio broadcasts in rural communities, hand out flyers to migrant workers or host a movie night in your home to discuss the issue.

--Write to your local state representatives and state senators to request improvement in the current human trafficking state statute. A model statute is available at www.humantrafficking.org.

--Contact your local paper and let them know you want more stories on human trafficking.
