The Ugly Truth about Human Trafficking Combating Human Trafficking was declared by Pope Francis as
a moral imperative. It is modern-day slavery that is both global
and local in its impact on human rights and public safety and is
a $32 billion-a-year global industry with San Diego listed as a
high intensity region. Recruitment of young victims is taking
place in schools, trolley stops, social media and even Churches
across San Diego County. Please join us Saturday, Oct. 15,
9—11 am in the California Room of the St. Francis Center
(lower level) to learn about this issue from experts like Chief
Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan, and Survivor Tom
Jones and more. A Question & Answer session will follow the
presentation. Refreshments will be served. This presentation is
appropriate for adults and teens. All are welcome.
