Sometimes the notices are to inform, and sometimes they are a call to action. The group also refers people interested in volunteering to numerous organizations. Anyone interested in receiving the updates simply e-mails them at mnhumantrafficking@gmail.com and requests to be added to the broadcast list. Danine, while the subject matter is disturbing and heart-wrenching, I'm so grateful you've shared this reality with me and others. Awareness is the first step to real change, and you're doing a great service by raising awareness through your gift of pen. Keep up the good work!

Living in MN myself and loving Duluth I was shocked! My heart strings came alive knowing that I need to help somehow. I searched and found your page. Thank you for the helpful info and trying to get the word out about help. We need to make something change. This has to STOP!

I appreciate that. Normally, I just add the information I find helpful. It wasn't even something I really realized I was doing, lol. Well, shucks. I appreciate that.

Your call is truly inspiring. More people especially need to be aware that trafficking happens in our very neighborhoods, not just in a third world country oceans away.
