Human Trafficking Awareness & Call to Action

As Chairman of the Board for The Miami Association of Realtors, one of our priorities this year has been Human Trafficking Awareness.  The Premise is that there is power in numbers and with 60,000 members, that means we have 120,000 eyes inside homes and private properties, more than any other profession.

I had the pleasure to do a presentation at one of our largest events, Rock The Market, with over 1,200 agents in attendance, with our own YPN President, Katherine Arteta.  I wanted to share the presentation here since awareness is my goal.

This is a crime that is so prevalent in our society that we made it a main initiative.  It’s a difficult topic and one that needs to be brought to light.

Human Trafficking Awareness can potentially save a life!

Did you know that Human Trafficking is the fastest-growing organized crime activity in the US? and second largest criminal industry in the world?

Did you know 25 million people are trafficked globally at any moment in time?

Did you know that Florida ranks 3rd in the US for Human Trafficking cases reported?

Did you know that most older children are trafficked while still going to school and living at home?
