Update from Not For Sale Georgia

The Peach State is turning Orange!

NFS State Directors Mark & Keisha Hoerrner give us their remarkable update on the anti-trafficking movement in Gerogia…

***

“It’s been a very busy time here at the NFS Georgia campaign. We started our mapping project with students from Kennesaw State and are working to bring in other student groups from UGA, GSU, GC&SU, Emory, Ga. Tech and other local schools.

In addition, we have been putting together a day-long summit on human trafficking.

We’ve been meeting and networking with state and federal law enforcement, state and federal government agencies, and with partners from the Georgia Rescue & Restore coalition.

We have been assisting the national campaign with finalizing many of the documents we are making available to the public at no charge. We’re working to put together a logical framework for a statewide annual report on human trafficking and slavery. We’re authoring a handbook for starting community coalitions. We’re examining international trafficking data in order to produce groundbreaking research on human trafficking statistics and the environmental effects of trafficking on a community.

This is not to brag about how tired we are but how committed we are to ensuring that the scourge of human trafficking is eliminated in our lifetime. We can’t do it alone. We need you. We’re seeing some great things happen – such as the recent arrests in China at the same time our local law enforcement is busting up forced labor rings here in Georgia. But the Atlanta Journal-Constitution article also brought to light that as soon as six different illegal employment agencies were brought down, two new agencies had opened their doors to do the same business. This only underlines the need for constant vigilance and the need for organizations like NFS to exist.”

Domestic Interstate Trafficking

Keisha,
Are you focusing on domestic interstate human trafficking as well? I have information that I believe will help you regarding what many women in Georgia have reported to DOJ and the FBI regarding the traffickers in Atlanta. Are you aware that those who are involved in the sale of women and children in Atlanta are judges, attorneys, politicians, doctors, psychologists, and other professionals who have the power to cover up the charges? You are fighting a very powerful group with national as well as international ties. Family court corruption is tied to domestic human trafficking through foster care and DFACS. The money trail leads to the contributions of the Fathers Rights Organization’s pro pedophilia agenda and is promoted by the state of Georgia’s Father’s Rights Programs. Have you read Wendy Titleman’s book, Let My Children Go, or Trance Formation of America by Cathy O’Brien. Children and women have been under assault with the help of Georgia agencies for decades now with too many cases to hide. Many women in Georgia would like to find an agency who would lend a voice to the horrific plight of their children abused by fathers and DFACS as well.
You are in a good state for fighting this as the cases for which you can gather statistics will provide you with evidence of a shocking disregard for basic human rights.
