Human trafficking, or human slavery, is happening all around us. It isn’t new, and it’s much more than the recent headlines. It’s happening every day here close to our homes, more than most people realize.

In this presentation, Lauren will expose the root causes of trafficking, how and where it happens, and how Southern Oregon communities can take meaningful actions to stop it. Learn how to identify trafficking within your immediate community, and hear inspiring stories about Lauren and her teams’ successes.

She is the founder and Executive Director of Disruptors Org (formerly Ride My Road), which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for survivor-led initiatives.
