 Join the Movement: #WearBlueDay on January 11
January marks Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and CCHT invites you to join the national movement on January 11, 2026—#WearBlueDay.
Blue is the international color of human trafficking awareness—so wear it, share it, and talk about it to help spread awareness of this often-overlooked and misunderstood crime. On Sunday January 11, post a photo or video on your social channels using #WearBlueDay, and let people know why you're participating. Encourage friends, family, and coworkers to join in by wearing blue, sharing resources, and posting as well.
A simple act—and a simple conversation—can help break the silence and spread awareness nationwide.
