#FBF to when we ran into @VP during a mtg w/ @SenFeinstein staff in 2016. Chatted w/ her about trafficking issues - she was so gracious & informed. Excited to have an anti-trafficking champion officially at the helm! #HTAM #HTAM2021

During these times, we must work together and not against each other.
Here are the facts:
-There is no food shortage & stores will restock, so please don’t hoard.
-The water supply is clean & safe to drink, so there’s no need to buy water in bulk.
-We are in this together.

Watch this. It shows why we should all do the right thing and stay home to the fullest extent possible. All of us can help slow the spread of the virus, protecting the elderly, the vulnerable, and each other. washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. vox.com/2020/3/10/21171481/c…

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.

No child should have to bear the experience and subsequent trauma of exploitation. That’s why we fight with @ECPATUSA @enditmovement to fight trafficking and protect all children.

Prior abuse+childhood trauma increase vulnerability to commercial sexual exploitation. Data shows 60% of ID’d victims in LA had former referrals to child welfare for sexual abuse allegations. Learn more: youthlaw.org/publication/frp… #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth #CSEC #HTAM2019

The FRP involves a 90-minute collaborative response that includes child welfare, a specialized advocate, and access to time-sensitive health services. Learn more about the protocol and data from the first 4 years of implementation here: youthlaw.org/publication/frp… #HTAwarenessMonth

We lost our boy, Bailey. He went peacefully surrounded by his family at his home. Bailey means “gentle guardian” and he embodied it. He was our fearless, loving, goofy gladiator. He taught me how to love and be loved. How to be a friend, father and person. Our hearts are broken.
