Atlanta business leaders understand that unity among major Atlanta corporations is the key to attacking the demand for human trafficking and ending this calamity. The Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force is committed to continuing advocacy against the epidemic through collaboration of Atlanta-based businesses and organizations.
Over the next two years, roundtable meetings will be hosted by the Task Force, where major companies will come together to discuss various aspects of human trafficking in their industries. Each session will be led by a different Task Force member, and sessions are expected to begin in January 2019.
