Proud to Join Fight Against Human Trafficking as Truckers Against Trafficking Sponsor
Giving back to our industry and communities is a key component of our Milestone FIRST Principle of Service. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that we are donating $25,000 as a Platinum Sponsor of Truckers Against Trafficking for 2023 to aid in their global fight against human trafficking.
Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) is a 501c3 organization that educates and empowers members of trucking-related industries, law enforcement and state agencies to combat the human trafficking epidemic:
- Human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states, and victims are often found in locations frequented by truckers.
- Human trafficking is a multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise that denies freedom to an estimated 40.3 million individuals globally – 1 in 4 victims are children.
Our sponsorship will help TAT provide trucking-related industries with educational materials and training, and partner with law enforcement and government agencies to combat and facilitate the investigation of human trafficking. We will also display these materials at our offices and host trainings for our team as part of this sponsorship.
We are proud to be able to put our FIRST Principles into action by partnering with TAT in their battle against human trafficking.
