This information, too, came from the UMW Action Network and has been edited for space. I omitted one website that is very helpful, but the connection code is so very long that it is really too cumbersome to be useful since the hyperlink (Is that the correct term?!) doesn't apply here. This sheet is meant to accompany the information piece on Human Trafficking, and is designed to be printed in landscape format, three columns. ******************************************************** HUMAN TRAFFICKING of CHILDREN ACTION *Contact your congressional representative (Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121) and urge them to support H.R. 5076 – Enhancing Services for Runaway and Homeless Victims of Youth Trafficking Act of 2014, to help ensure that law enforcement officers know how to deal with trafficked youth. *Read the Child Victims of Human Trafficking Fact Sheet published by the Office of Refugee Resettlement by following this link: (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/resource/fact-sheet-child-victims-of-human-trafficking) *Visit the website of the National Alliance to End Homelessness to learn about more ways you can connect with others to end homelessness in America (http://www.endhomelessness.org/)
