Human Trafficking Legislation Heads to a Compromise - Your Help is Needed! 

Human trafficking is a brutal crime of which both US citizens and foreign nationals in the U.S. are victimized.  Rhode Island’s current human trafficking policy lags behind federal law and many state laws in how it addresses the sex trafficking of minors and labor trafficking. Rhode Island legislators can and must improve the law – and the final step is to pass H 5661 and S 605.  This legislation, sponsored by Representative Joanne Giannani and Senator Rhoda Perry, will improve the state’s approach to end human trafficking.  Please take action.
