The Chattanooga Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Second Life of Chattanooga and Richmont Graduate University on Friday, Jan. 10 presented the 3rd annual “Unite: Wear White” event. The event was held at the Chattanooga Choo Choo’s Imperial Ballroom. The keynote speaker was Ed Stanton, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee.
“Unite: Wear White” is the local observance of National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. The event is designed to educate and mobilize organizations and individuals to work together against human trafficking in Chattanooga and Hamilton County.
“The Chattanooga Coalition Against Human Trafficking exits to create a community that is unified in the response to and prevention of human trafficking in all its forms,” said Jerry Redman, managing senior partner of Second Life of Chattanooga, a co-founding member of the Coalition. “’Unite: Wear White’ is one of the ways we highlight that unified response, as well as strengthen and grow the Coalition. To have Ed Stanton with us, whose office is a national leader in prosecuting human trafficking crimes, made this event even more special.”
