Texas lawmakers, advocates to hold press conference on legislative solutions to fight human trafficking
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas lawmakers and advocates will come together Tuesday to voice concerns and offer legislative solutions to fight human trafficking.
At 10:30 a.m. at the Texas State Capitol, the nonprofit Children At Risk, dedicated co-sponsors, lawmakers and advocates will gather for the “Anti-human Trafficking Advocacy Day and Press Conference” to discuss efforts to prevent human trafficking, support survivors and penalize traffickers.
