November 14, 2023, Meeting
Heather Bradley, Executive Director of Mississippians Against Human Trafficking, was the guest speaker during the November 14th meeting. Human and sex trafficking is said to be the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, and Mississippi is no exception. In fact, with the intersection of I-55 and I-20 in central Mississippi, our state has become a hub for human and sex trafficking. Shown below from left, Heather Bradley and Club President Matt Monsour. Here is the link to the meeting video.
