Parker invites public for human trafficking town hall meeting
Rep. Kevin Parker, R-Spokane, invites the community of Spokane and surrounding communities for a public discussion on human trafficking and what the state is doing to address the crime.
The event will be held Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at The Service Station, 9315 N. Nevada Street, Spokane.
“It is difficult to conceive that people are still being sold into slavery in our day and age, and in our country. However, human trafficking is very real and, unfortunately, prolific in our country. It is up to all of us to be attentive to what is going on around us and to prevent future victims,” said Parker, R-Spokane. “I hope to see many from our community attend this meeting so we can discuss together what can be done by each one of us to prevent and stop human trafficking.”
Darrin Duty with Generation Alive and Jeremy Affeldt, pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, will join Parker to host the event and discuss how the community can help stop human trafficking.
