On behalf of Derby City CLUW (Coalition of Labor Union Women), a non-partisan, non-profit organization, I would like to extend an invitation to our organization’s Human Trafficking Awareness Seminar.   CLUW's intention is to make individuals aware that this is a growing problem in our community.  As members of Labor, we are often the first contact that these victims have in the city.  As first responders, teachers, truck and bus drivers, store clerks, and the like, we are in the street, in the store, in the hospital, etc. These are places that victims often show up for essentials. This is starting to be an issue in our schools as well!

The seminar will be held on March 3, 2018, at 10 am at the UAW Union Hall located at 3000 Fern Valley Road.  As one of our fellow activist organizations, it would be our honor to have your presence at this important occasion.  Please send a representative(s) from your local to receive this information. All are welcome, so feel free to inform your membership.

We pray this never affects your families or friends, but in the event that it does, know where to find help. We have invited prominent leaders of the community to participate in a panel discussion, as well as Attorney General Andy Beshear. We are working in conjunction with the Kristy Love Foundation, a survivor led non-profit organization that provides a safe haven for women and girls of all ages, who have been victims of modern-day slavery.  However, make no mistake, Human Trafficking also affects young men.

Please confirm your attendance to this invitation by February 16, 2018, either by email to derbycitycluw@aol.com, or by phone at (502) 694-2589. Fliers like the one pictured are available for posting in union halls and elsewhere. Please leave a message to let us know how many will be in attendance.  There is no cost for this opportunity and refreshments will be provided. We look forward to your presence at this seminar. Our organization would be greatly enriched by your membership's participation! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
