January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Human trafficking is a massive illegal industry that violates and exploits children and adults throughout the world. This is, in fact, modern day slavery that’s happening under our noses, even here in Montgomery County and in the state of Pennsylvania.  

Due to its location along the east coast, Pennsylvania is a likely place for human trafficking to occur. With the necessary tools and resources, we need to continue making our state a place where we take the time, initiative, and political will to limit this business, protect everyone we can, and ensure that people can live safely here.  

There are numerous legislative efforts to address this in Pennsylvania. I have proposed legislation that would ensure massage businesses are licensed to establish more prevention methods, and I’m also backing state Rep. Regina Young’s bill which aims to train hotel workers to spot human trafficking.  

How can you help? Contact your State Senator and encourage them to support these efforts to prevent human trafficking in Pennsylvania. 

Please continue to stay safe, healthy and well-informed.
