Unleashing the Power of Collaboration: Eradicating Human Trafficking Together with Safe House Project

Human trafficking is one of the hardest issues facing our world today. It's challenging. It's heartbreaking. And the details of what survivors are going through will truly eat at your core. We're talking to Brittany Dunn, the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Safe House Project, an organization that's going to give you hope about this issue, give you the tools that you need to lead and respond to this. Whether you are a teacher, an educator, a healthcare worker, or a citizen, there is a way that you can help respond. Brittany's family is deeply entwined in the military: her stories on their military background and her background leading this organization will inspire you. We want you to find hope as we talk about trafficking in the US, how big the issue is, how you can respond, and how you can lead and build trust every day.
