Tread on Trafficking is something Love146 supporters do every summer. Thousands of people run, bike, swim and work out -- all in the name of abolition. Treaders do something physical and ask sponsors to support them, with all money raised going towards ending child trafficking and exploitation.
Some have simply walked around the block every evening with their children. Some have run marathons. Some have even paddle boarded around islands. (True Story!)
But the thing they all had in common is that they used exercise as a way to open up a conversation with family and friends and raise support for Love146.
Consider getting your Task Force involved this summer... It's fun, helps protect children and is an easy way to reach your Task Force's $1,000... Read More

Take Action Against Labor Exploitation
posted by Community Admin on May 08, 2013
Hi Task Forces,
Recent fires in Pakistan and Bangladesh have caused killed more than 400 people, and are giving people yet another reason to take a critical look at the factory conditions where consumer products are made.
Environments of labor exploitation are locations of sexual exploitation as well, and the movement against trafficking would not be complete without also demanding changes in the global production process.

Abolition 101: Boys
posted by Community Admin on Mar 25, 2013
Hi Task Forces,
We're excited to introduce that we'll be starting a lesson series on trafficking called Abolition 101! The purpose of these lessons is to delve into a specific topic, and move forward in the goal of becoming the neighborhood abolitionists all over the world. These lessons will be compilations of resources, such as articles, reviews of related organizations, academic articles, and film/book recommendations. If your Task Force is interested in creating a lesson for the series about trafficking in your region or on another topic, contact elaine@love146.org.
First up: boys.
