We are still celebrating the success of our second annual CALL TO ACTION! AZ Human Trafficking Summit 2024 was held last week. This summit's mission is to engage the Arizona community to build knowledge about sex trafficking and how it impacts our criminal justice system (courts, law enforcement, probation, diversion), schools, and youth (child welfare, juvenile probation). The end goal is for participants to work together to support prevention and when a victim is identified, to work together to support them. These goals and much more were accomplished this year, and we are excited for what 2025 brings us in the direction of human trafficking prevention and awareness. #htsummit2024 #humantraffickingawareness #humantraffickingprevention https://lnkd.in/gXX8CN_h

Today, on Patriot Day, we remember the profound impact of September 11, 2001. As the events of that tragic morning unfolded, the world watched in horror as Americans faced an unprecedented attack. Yet amidst the anger and despair, a powerful sense of pride and unity emerged, inspired by the courageous actions of the passengers and crew of United Flight 93. These 40 brave individuals, in their final moments, made a stand against the terrorists, leaving behind a legacy of heroism and sacrifice. As we reflect on the nearly 3,000 lives lost and honor the first responders who risked everything to save others, let us take this day to reaffirm our commitment to the values that bind us as a nation. Together, let’s strive to build a better, more united world for everyone.
