Human trafficking is increasingly being recognized as not just a problem in some distant land, but rather right in our own community. This terrible and under-recognized exploitation of our neighbors, and fellow human beings, cries out for justice.
Please join the Finger Lakes Guild, UR Newman, and The Cathedral Community for:
Human Trafficking: A Panel Discussion on Monday, 11/4, from 7-9pm at the Interfaith Chapel at the U of R
