Last week on The Pop-Up!, LaTanya Horace DuBois, the founder of The Silent Task Force, highlighted the crisis of young Black girls being the most trafficked group in Washington state and laid out solutions to solve this problem.

While poverty and family displacement are significant drivers, DuBois pointed to a lack of youth resources in the Emerald City as a prime culprit, alongside online and in-school grooming.

The Silent Task Force is hosting a Community Town Hall tomorrow, Friday, June 5th at the Garfield Community Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event aims to strengthen community awareness, preparedness, and collaboration to prevent sex trafficking during the FIFA World Cup and beyond.
