MISSSEY Legislative & Policy Committee Meeting

Please join us and attend MISSSEY’s first “Legislative & Policy Committee” taking place June 16, 2015 at 7PM at the MISSSEY office.  Yolanda Smith and Rose Mukhar will be co-chairing this Committee and they are both excited about the possibilities of creating legislation and policy on behalf of trafficked youth.

• The focus of this committee will be on advocacy and helping to create local policies and statewide legislation concerning trafficked youth, ages 18 years and younger.
• On the local front we plan to assist with the campaign to secure funding to create new housing for homeless and trafficked youth within Alameda County.
• On the state level we intend to focus on legislation that targets the purchasers of sex with children to help end domestic minor sex trafficking
• We will brainstorm at this first meeting about which local officials we should be reaching out to and begin setting up meetings to promote an awareness of MISSSEY and the needs of CSEC.

We hope to see you at the meeting. If you have questions or specific suggestions as to what we should address at the first meeting, please contact Rose Mukhar at advocacy@misssey.org
