State Directors
Your Local Connection…
... to the Not for Sale Campaign
Not for Sale aims to educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement. Inside the United States, the campaign identifies trafficking rings and collaborates with local law enforcement and community groups to shut them down and provide support for the victims.
Not for Sale’s State Directors play an integral role in the campaign by building local abolitionist coalitions or working with existing anti-trafficking groups. Directors communicate directly with Not for Sale Headquarters, and each other, through a monthly conference call designed to coordinate local, national, and international action to combat modern slavery.
