Pennsylvania:  Please Urge Your Senator to Cosponsor Human Trafficking Legislation!
(January 20, 2010)
Human Trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world, in which traffickers reap billions in profits by using force, fraud or coercion to rob victims of their freedom.  And while there are approximately 14,500-17,500 human beings trafficked into the U.S. each year, it is estimated that thousands of U.S. citizens are trafficked within the United States.  Pennsylvania is not exempt from the brutality of human trafficking - but thankfully, legislation to increase awareness about this horrible crime and provide needed help to victims and anyone wishing to provide tips on human trafficking, is poised for introduction in the Pennsylvania legislature.  Your voice is needed to urge legislators to cosponsor and strongly support this important bill.
