Sacramento, CA — The California Assembly on Monday voted to recognize January as National Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
Mother Lode Republican Assemblyman David Tangipa spoke in favor of the measure (ACR-9) and shared some personal experiences.
On the Assembly floor, he stated, “I think about the victims, and survivors, and the families who have gone through this. I think about my family member who was trafficked at 14 years old, by a former teammate of mine, less than five miles away from these steps.”
