Rotary District 5180 Human Trafficking Project
 

And January is 2019 National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month

In 2011, President Obama issued a Presidential Proclamation designating each January to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The anniversary of this proclamation became known as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, which is held on January 11th each year.  

 Slavery was officially abolished in the US in December 1865 by the 13th Amendment, however, its forms still exist to date. The US is the source, transit and destination country for modern slaves: children, women and men.

Whether from another country or the US, they are all subjected to injustices of human trafficking, including sex trafficking, forced labor, involuntary servitude, and forced marriage. 

 Lincoln Rotary Club jumped in to help with a project run by leaders in Rotary District 5180 who addressed the issue by creating an initiative, with funding from The Rotary Foundation and Rotarians locally and globally, to provide human trafficking education to our youth in schools and to reach the public with an outreach campaign.  

 If you or someone you know is being trafficked contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline
at call 1-888-373-7888 or text BeFree (233722)

Assistance for our Friends in Paradise
 
At this time of tragedy for the Paradise community, we offer you an invitation to join the Rotary Club of Lincoln and the Lincoln community in our dedicated efforts to aid the victims of the horrific fire.    We are working with the Rotary Club of Paradise in their dedicated very focused efforts to rebuild their lives and their community.  We are a small part in their huge efforts. 
 
 
A meaningful way to provide support to the Paradise community is to make donations that will go to the Paradise Rotary Foundation and will be used 100 percent for victim relief and community recovery.   Donations are being accepted by the Lincoln Rotary Club Foundation with those funds to be bundled and sent 100% to the Paradise Rotary Foundation.  They will be identified as coming from our Lincoln community to their community and are tax deductible (Tax ID # 71-0999576).
