a. Talk about it: Once you’re informed, share what you’ve learned with family, friends, and anyone who will listen. Get the word out there that human trafficking is an issue here.

b. Organize: Organize a local group to fight trafficking in any way you can. That could include fundraising for larger groups that can appropriately put the money to good use, spreading awareness locally, receive and provide training for your neighborhoods, et cetera.

c. Improve legal action against traffickers: There may be legislation being worked on to improve law enforcement’s ability to find and help victims as well as prosecute the traffickers. Write your representatives and let them know what you want to be done. If nothing is in the works, tell your representatives that more needs to be done.
