DESCRIPTION:Allison Tant Flyer 1Allison Tant Flyer 2\nState Representative Allison Tant — a longtime champion for the communities we serve — has chosen Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) as the beneficiary of her annual birthday service project this year. Every year\, Representative Tant marks her birthday not with gifts for herself\, but by gathering people to do good together. This year\, she is using that tradition to stand with and empower human trafficking survivors across the Big Bend. We are deeply honored. \nBelow\, in her own words\, Representative Tant shares what she has planned and how you can be a part of it. \n“Many of you know I do a fun-filled\, cake & ice cream service project for my birthday in support of a nonprofit that supports people across my legislative district. It’s my way of being with people I care about and doing some good together! \nThis year I have chosen Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center\, which provides direct support\, services\, and needed personal items to victims of human trafficking across the Big Bend. \nThe people they serve often have urgent and very different needs — from food and clothing to transportation\, safe cell phones\, medication\, basic personal care items\, uniforms for work\, and help getting around. Gift cards are especially helpful because they allow survivors to purchase what they need\, when they need it. \nHere are the details: \nWhen: Sunday\, July 12 | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nWhere: Address provided upon RSVP\nRSVP: allisontant@allisontant.com \nMy gift is being with you. If you are able\, please bring an item or gift card from STAC’s wish list to help support the survivors they serve. \nMost needed items include: \n\nFast food restaurant gift cards\nGasoline gift cards\nWalmart gift cards\nLyft and Uber gift cards\nCVS and Walgreens gift cards\nGrocery store gift cards\, including Publix\, Piggly Wiggly\, and ALDI\nCellular phones\, especially Straight Talk and Tracfone\nPhone service cards\, including Boost Mobile\, Straight Talk\, and T-Mobile\nGift cards of $20 or more are most helpful when possible.\n\nIf you are not able to attend but would still like to support STAC’s work\, you can make a donation here: https://surviveandthriveadvocacy.org/donate-now \nI hope you’ll stop by\, share some cake and ice cream\, and help me celebrate by supporting an organization doing lifesaving work right here in our community. ” \n– Allison Tant \nSTAC is a direct service provider for survivors of sex and labor trafficking in Florida’s Big Bend.

SUMMARY:Closer Than You Think: Unmasking Familial Trafficking and Closing the Gaps That Keep It Hidden
DESCRIPTION:When trafficking happens within the family\, it often goes unseen\, not because the signs aren’t there\, but because our communities and the systems designed to protect children aren’t always equipped to recognize them. This session will challenge common myths and misconceptions about familial trafficking and child exploitation\, and explore the critical gaps that prevent identification across law enforcement\, child protective services\, schools\, nonprofits\, and medical settings. \nPresenter Hillary Evans\, Director of Social Impact at 3Strands Global Foundation (3SGF)\, will introduce PROTECT — 3SGF’s evidence-based K-12 prevention education program — and discuss how a wraparound support model can equip the trusted adults and systems in a child’s life to both identify exploitation and prevent initial and recurring harm. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of what familial trafficking looks like\, why it’s so often missed\, and how coordinated cross-sector response can make the difference. \nThis session is relevant to law enforcement\, child welfare professionals\, educators\, healthcare providers\, nonprofit staff\, and anyone committed to building safer systems for children and families. \nAbout the Presenters: \nHillary Evans \nHillary Evans is an advocate\, educator\, lived experience expert and seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in the prevention education landscape. She believes in providing person-centered\, trauma-informed approaches that empower people to recognize all forms of abuse and become educated beyond what they have seen about human trafficking in movies and on TV. She collaborates closely with education systems\, social services\, nonprofits\, technologists\, and government agencies\, establishing cross-functional teams that optimize services for those who have experienced exploitation. \nHillary’s lived experience has become a cornerstone of her advocacy\, infusing her work with authenticity and a deep understanding of the complex challenges faced by survivors. She is a passionate force committed to developing programs that address human trafficking on both domestic and international fronts. Her commitment extends beyond professional expertise; it’s a personal mission driven by a profound belief in the power of education and understanding. This holistic approach\, informed by both her professional background and lived experience\, positions her as a valuable advocate and leader in the fight against human trafficking. \n Register Here\n====================== \nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars.
