West Chicagoland Anti-Trafficking Coalition

The West Chicagoland Anti-Trafficking Coalition invites you to a Mixer at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 1, at TEAM's Missions Place in Wheaton.

This informal gathering will feature Rep. Peter Roskam, and with his wife Elizabeth, along with a panel discussion on human trafficking.

On the panel will be an agent from the Office of Homeland Security and representatives from local nonprofit organizations who are working to combat human trafficking in our area and globally: NewName, Reclaim13, Women at Risk International, Compass Church Global/Justice Ministries.

There are 28 millions slaves in the world today - more than at any time in human history - and trafficking is happening in our area every day.

Come and learn more about this important issue and how you can make a difference by becoming an abolitionist.

Missions Place is at 370 W. Front Street, just east of the train station.

Refreshments will be served.
