SUMMARY:From Stonewall to Stonewalled: Recognizing and Addressing LGBTQ+ Barriers in Rural and Urban Human Trafficking Service Models
DESCRIPTION:The LGBTQ+ community is a broad community that encompasses folks from various racial backgrounds\, abilities\, faiths\, genders\, socioeconomic statuses\, and nearly every other identifiable way of grouping people. As we know\, anyone can be a survivor of trafficking\, including LGBTQ+ folks who exist across a spectrum of marginalization. The identities of queer people often become politicized\, relegated\, and a source for oppression. Compounding factors\, including societal ostracization and poverty\, can lead to increased vulnerabilities that can culminate into human trafficking\, homelessness\, and anxiety related to traditional service implementation models. There is even further divide in the effectiveness in service provision and outreach in rural and urban areas. This webinar will offer a deep dive into the unique situations of LGBTQ+ people and how those manifest into trafficking\, as well as the nuances in rural versus urban service implementation for queer survivors seeking housing stability. \nDownload – Stonewall to Stonewalled Presentation slides \n  \nPresenter: Danni Hickey\, Anti-Trafficking Housing Specialist\, International Rescue Committee \nDanni Hickey (They/She/He) graduated from Florida State University in the summer of 2019 with a degree in History\, and a minor in Gender Studies. From there\, Danni began working in the human services field. Danni began their career running a temporary homeless shelter for The Salvation Army of Tallahassee and upon successful completion of the grant\, moved into the permanent role of case manager. Following a tenure with The Salvation Army\, Danni transitioned to Catholic Charities where they served as Program Specialist for the Tallahassee office. At Catholic Charities\, Danni executed and oversaw the housing programs offered by the agency in 8 counties. Currently\, Danni serves as the Housing Specialist for survivors of trafficking on behalf of the International Rescue Committee. Through this position\, Danni assists survivors with accessing shelter and permanent housing. Along the way\, Danni has been engaging with a two-year program to achieve a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Administration. For the graduation requirement for the MPA\, Danni conducted a comparative study on urban and rural emergency shelter programs for LGBTQ+ folks and effectiveness of addressing housing insecurity. Danni was awarded an Exemplary Award for this work by the Reubin O’D Askew School of Public Administration & Policy. Danni’s passions are advocacy and community organizing as it pertains to queer rights and autonomy. Danni believes in using individual voices to lift communities into equality\, sustainability\, and independence regardless of age\, identity\, ability\, or background. \n  \n\n  \nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars.

SUMMARY:Human Trafficking Webinar Series - Centering the Experience of Boys\, Young Men\, and Male Identifying Students in Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Click here to Register!\nSince 2020\, the U.S. Department of Education has conducted a webinar series to address child and youth trafficking in America’s schools. The series draws attention to the important efforts underway in our nation’s education community to address both sex and labor trafficking. \nOn behalf of the U.S. Department of Education\, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools\, the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE) invites you to join the next webinar in this series\, Centering the Experience of Boys\, Young Men\, and Male Identifying Students in Human Trafficking. \nWednesday\, September 13\, 2023\n3:00 – 4:30 pm EDT \nBoys\, young men\, and male identifying youth are often overlooked when it comes to recognizing and preventing human trafficking. In this webinar\, we will explore how and why that is\, and how methods of supporting males can differ from females. Researchers will present data dispelling the myth that exploitation of children is a problem that only affects cisgender girls and young women\, as well as data showing that boys and male identifying youth are\, in fact\, frequently exploited and trafficked. The webinar will also include a panel discussion to better understand the experiences of male and male identifying youth who have experienced human trafficking\, featuring experts with lived experience and educators working directly with youth in school anti-trafficking programs. We will end the webinar with a live Q&A where we will respond to your questions related to centering and supporting these youth in anti-trafficking work. \nSpeakers/Panelists\n\nJose Lewis Alfaro\, Lived Experience Expert & Consultant\nJerome Elam\, President and CEO Trafficking in America Task Force\, Survivor Leader\, FL\nJodi de la Peña\, Grant Manager\, Human Trafficking Prevention\, Oakland Unified School District\, CA\nJose (Peps) Garcia\, Newcomer Safety Initiative\, Program Manager\, Oakland Unified School District\, CA\nCaroline Greig\, Anti-Trafficking Initiatives Program Director\, WestCoast Children’s Clinic\, CA\nDavid Perry\, Health Data Research Analyst\, WestCoast Children’s Clinic\, CA\n\n Click here to Register!

SUMMARY:Florida’s Expungement Laws: Helping Survivors of Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Download the presentation slides \nWhen a youth or an adult victim/survivor of human trafficking is arrested – whether or not they are prosecuted – they can suffer lifelong personal and practical impacts. Trauma associated with an arrest can haunt them throughout their life. A criminal record can hurt their ability to be economically secure\, to get a job or education\, and to rebuild their lives and heal. Because these crimes happened while they were being trafficked\, Florida law provides a way to help and clear\, or “expunge\,” their criminal histories.  \nThis month’s program will explain the law on expungement\, describe the process for clearing a survivor’s criminal history\, detail the effects of expungement on a survivor’s life\, and dispel myths and misconceptions regarding expungement. If you are a professional or community member who is in actual or potential contact with sex and labor trafficking survivors or anyone who might be vulnerable\, you need to know about expungement. \nApproved by the Florida Bar for 2 CLE credit hours (Download FLBAR Approval) \nSpeaker: \nBrent Woody\nLead Attorney/Executive Director\, Justice Restoration Center \nThis free certificate webinar is one of the “Third Friday” community training events hosted by BBCAHT and STAC to inform and engage the North Florida community and beyond. We are happy to extend this invitation to friends and colleagues – please join us! \n  \nDo you have any access needs or accommodation requests that you would like STAC to know about? Contact our team at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or call 850-597-2080. \n  \n\n  \nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars. Will you donate today?

SUMMARY:Human Trafficking and the African American Community: Myths\, Realities\, and Taking Action
DESCRIPTION:WATCH ON YOUTUBE \nPresenters: \nBrianna Rogers\, CEO\, BriSafe \nKhia Thomas\, Founder\, Infinite Public Relations \nDescription: \nTraffickers target people who are vulnerable in almost any way. Factors that place Black women and girls\, and men and boys\, at greater risk include unstable housing\, involvement in the criminal justice or child welfare system\, mental and behavioral health/high suicide rates. According to the U.S. State Department: Human traffickers disproportionately target those in positions of socioeconomic or political vulnerability due to discriminatory policies\, who are often people of color or part of a racial minority. While U.S. efforts to combat human trafficking have grown in magnitude and sophistication over the years\, the United States still struggles with how to address the disparate effects of human trafficking on racial minority communities. To be truly effective\, a comprehensive approach to prosecution\, protection\, and—most of all—prevention must embed racial justice and equity across its policies and programs.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Link Between Persons with Disabilities and Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:During this training\, we will discuss how people with disabilities are often targeted for sex and labor trafficking and exploited for financial gain. You will learn more about red flags of trafficking and next steps to take if you believe that someone you know may be trafficked or is being groomed for trafficking or exploitation. \nEducating the community to understand what human trafficking looks like on the local\, state\, and national levels is a vital step to ending human trafficking in the United States.  People with disabilities are at risk of experiencing human trafficking. Traffickers deliberately target people with vulnerabilities as a means of manipulation and control. Some risk factors that traffickers try to exploit may include education gaps\, societal isolation\, and lack of access to services and support. Persons with disabilities often experience widespread societal discrimination that can result in their family\, friends\, and even the authorities not believing them when they report abuse. \nDownload presentation \nView Taxi video mentioned \nView Financial Exploitation video mentioned \nPresenter: Marina Anderson\, Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator\, Northeast and Northwest Regions\, Florida Department of Children and Families  \nAbout the Speaker:  \nMarina Anderson\, Florida Department of Children and Families Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator for Northeast and Northwest Regions.

SUMMARY:Third Friday Webinar: Human Trafficking and Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:This program will help us to better understand what human trafficking looks like in our rural communities and how we can work together to prevent and end it. Too many people think that sex and labor trafficking happens only in big cities or large metropolitan areas. Or that labor trafficking only happens in agricultural areas that are mostly rural. These are all myths. \nRepresentatives from local communities will discuss the challenges rural communities face\, the strength that these communities have to recognize and respond to trafficking\, and the ways that we all can take action to do better. \nWhether you are in a rule community\, or in a big city\, this is a good program for you to attend. Social services\, the faith communities\, healthcare\, the justice system\, students\, teachers\, and everyone will benefit to learn more about how to respond to sex and labor trafficking in rural communities. \n  \nSpecial guests include… \nPastor Douglas Harris\, Midway Unity Fellowship Church\nMrs. Patricia Harris\, Retired English Instructor & Guidance Counselor\nCaptain Anglie Holmes\, Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office\nGraciela Marquina\, Community Services Advocate\, STAC\nLolanda Kindrix-Woods\, Evangelist\, and Deacon James Woods\, Grandparents and Midway residents \n\nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars. Will you donate today? Each gift helps to bring this vital information to the many people who are empowering survivors and preventing human trafficking. The only way we can maintain these programs and this work is with YOUR help.\nSuggested donation: $20
