Welcome to the Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force (MHTTF) new BLOG,
Voices of Change. My understanding is that every
one-half of a second a new blog is created in the world which means in excess
of millions. This blog is intended to share opinions, interests, and
experiences about the myriad of issues surrounding the anti-trafficking
movement written by those who have something they just want to share. It could
take the form of dissemination of breaking news, a passionate point of view,
meaning for the writer conversing as though in a chat, navigating between
different areas using links, commenting on subjects that are not commonly
addressed that may spur alternative discussion, and the willingness to
contemplate different and non-traditional ways of working in a field full of
questions with few available answers.
MHTTF has three ways that we disseminate information over the
Internet. The function of our Task ForceWeb Page is to share about information on the law, mission, membership, and
resources. Our Facebook page exhibits continuous
coverage and updates on news releases globally, nationally, and within
Michigan. Voices of Change will be our third social media format that speaks to the heart
in examining, seeking and giving opinions, and airing clarifying questions to
allow for meaningful discourse not always addressed.
I have the privilege of not only writing a welcome for this blog but
the first official posting. So
read below, I want to dedicate my first post to those of you who are working in
anti-trafficking. It is to you
about you and to all who work in any way in the anti-trafficking movement.
