TFP at GW will be screening the movie "Trade," starring Oscar-winner Kevin Kline, on March 21. The film is based on Peter Landesman's article "The Girls Next Door" about child sex slaves, which was featured as the cover story in the January 24, 2004 issue of The New York Times Magazine. Well-researched using anti-slavery experts as consultants, Trade is often viewed as one of the most realistic films about human trafficking to date. Gritty, gripping and powerfully motivating, you won't want to miss this!
TFP at GW collected, sorted and donated over $18,000 worth of clothing from GW students to Courtney's House. Tina Frundt, survivor of child sex trafficking, and Tami Fenno, Director of Operations, were thrilled with the generous support. CH rescues survivors off the streets and in the cold winter months the children arrive with no long pants, coats, hats or gloves to stay warm. Donations included over 90 pairs of jeans, 49 sweaters and 27 coats! Way to go, GW!!
Our leadership team visited Polaris Project and the National Human Trafficking Resource Center today where we met with Jennifer Kimball, NHTRC Operations Coordinator and Brian Tan. Jennifer gave us a tour of the Hotline's call center, where we learned more about states that are under-engaged in reporting human trafficking. We also had a great discussion about how The FREE Project and the Hotline can work together to increase awareness among college students. We already have awesome wallet cards, but there's so much more we 
This past Monday we held our first event as a chapter! We showed The Dark Side of Chocolatea documentary about child slavery in the cocoa industry. We had a great turnout and everyone learned how modern slavery taints one of our favorite treats, chocolate. Sean Rudolph, Campaigns Director at the International Labor Rights Forum, answered questions after the film teaching us even more about the problems within the industry and giving us some ideas about what we can do to make a change.
