Ohioans: Email your state senator on March 11th!
March 11th will mark exactly 2 months since Ohio observed Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
It will mark 1 month since Ohio Attorney General Cordray’s Trafficking in Person Study Commission published the Report on the Prevalence of Human Trafficking in Ohio, the first study of its kind.
March 11th is the day we will keep the issue of human trafficking fresh in the minds of our politicians, by sending them an email blast to ensure they know we’re still paying attention!
On March 2nd, 26 of 33 senators stepped up alongside Sen. Fedor to sponsor S.B. 235.
S.B. 235 will allow Ohio to join the other 43 states that have made human trafficking a stand-alone felony under their state laws; it’s time for Ohio to address it’s rampant human trafficking problem by empowering local law enforcement with a state law instead of continually pushing these cases onto the FBI, scrambling to find some other crime to prosecute traffickers under, or ignoring these cases entirely.
As S.B. 235 enters the Criminal Justice Committee of the Ohio Senate, it enters a critical stage in the editing and amendment process. Encourage your senators to continue supporting the bill by keeping it strong and comprehensive! You can find your legislator here: http://www.ohiosenate.gov.
