Check out a few of Blue Campaign’s video resources below, and share them on social media, websites, and other communication channels. We need your help to #EndTrafficking:

  • Neighborhood Watch PSA — Human trafficking happens in urban, suburban, and rural communities. Learn what it can look like in this video.
  • Youth Trafficking Video — Young people are particularly vulnerable to trafficking situations. This video, the first installment in a developing four-part series, highlights grooming tactics traffickers may use.

BLI Launches New Training

Last month, the Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI) launched a new training module for its partners. The updated training module contains new scenarios that depict what human trafficking can look like in both commercial and general aviation settings. BLI trains aviation personnel to identify potential traffickers and human trafficking victims, and to report any suspicions to federal law enforcement. You can learn more about BLI and how to become a partner by attending our next panel event: bit.ly/3tzHkeg.
