Dear Friends:
Here is a FORWARDED MESSAGE from the FLORIDA COALITION AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING. Some great ideas here. There's no reason why these types of efforts cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Abolition!

Dear Colleagues,
The Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, KLaasKids Foundation. Global Child Rescue, Stand Up for Kids, Kristi House, Free International and Florida Abolitionists have join efforts to conduct street outreach to hotels and business owners that may come in contact with victims of commercial sexual exploitation and to conduct outreach to minors located in areas known for commercial sexual exploitation during the week of the Super Bowl 44 in Miami, Florida. Last year we provided 13 leads and one of the leads turned out to be the " Treasure Island " case in St. Pete, Florida. Six pimps were arrested and 4 domestic victims were rescued.
Our goal:
To identify and assist in the rescue and recovery of juveniles or adult victims of sex trafficking.
Our objectives:
Increase overall awareness of domestic minor sex trafficking to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area businesses.
Increase overall awareness and identification techniques for volunteers
Create and informed presence to the reality of domestic minor sex trafficking to visitors and residents of Miami/Ft.Lauderdale through media outlets and street presence.
Increase the opportunity to identify and rescue potential victims of domestic minor sex trafficking and adult victims of human trafficking. We will also be on The lookout for International victims of human trafficking.
Develop a spirit of teamwork and alliance building between the partner groups, law enforcement and the community.
Our outreach event starts with the arrival of Outreach Team members on February 2nd and 3rd

For almost a week Outreach volunteers, FCAHT, KlaasKids, Free International, Stand Up for Kids will be camping at the gymnasium of a church in Miami. The church is even hosting a Superbowl party for all volunteers. They are allowing us to sleep, shower and use their facilities as a staging area. Business around the area will be donating food for all the volunteers.
All team members and volunteers will be provided with "outreach shirts" for identification purposes during the business sweeps.
All team members and volunteers will;; have outreach material to hand-out to business owners.
Teams will have copies of missing child flyers of " local" children to pass out to business owners.
MSNBC will be with us through out the week. Last year they were filming with us the Tampa Superbowl Outreach event for a special documentary they are working on domestic minor sex trafficking.
We wanted to share with all of you what we have been coordinating for the last 6 months.
I would like to thanks all the organizations that have partner with FCAHT and KlaasKids for Superbowl 44 in Miami Springs Florida.
