BLOOMINGTON – Annually, more than 20 million people around the world are being trafficked for labor and/or sex, and Middle Way House needs your support to help end human trafficking.
Tuesday, January 11th, is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and #WearBlueDay, and Middle Way House is inviting the community to wear blue to show their support for survivors of human trafficking and bring awareness to human trafficking in the community.
Be sure to post a selfie with you, your friends, and/or co-workers on social media wearing blue and use the hashtag #WearBlueDay and tag Middle Way House, @MiddleWayHouse, on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter!
The horrific injustice of human trafficking affects people of all genders, orientations, ages, races, ethnicities, cultures, classes, faiths, and abilities. You can pledge to help end human trafficking and text WearBlue to 44-321 to donate.
