Description
In this episode of "Live Local, Give Local" listeners enjoy a great conversation between Dave Mason, the Host, this episode's co-host, David Drazenovich, and Jamie Beck, the Founder, President, and Managing Attorney of Free to Thrive. Free to Thrive is an organization that aims to empower survivors of human trafficking using legal services, education and training, and policy advocacy.
While human trafficking is not a crime that is often seen, it is always there in the background, affecting many. Especially with the pandemic and the isolation that has been caused by it, there has been an increase in human trafficking and human trafficking related crimes. The increased use of the internet has also made it easier for traffickers to find and lure in their targets.
Education and advocacy are two important pillars of the Freedom to Thrive organization model. This is part of the reason that Jamie is so excited about San Diego Gives because it opens up the conversation for more awareness and laws surrounding human trafficking. Hear Jamie talk about the importance of connecting with like-minded organizations and individuals in the community in terms of starting the conversation about human trafficking.
