I'm home from Cambodia, and home now in Santa Cruz! I felt so blessed to be able to spend the weekend with my parents, celebrating my amazing dad for Father's Day!A NFS staff summit in Half Moon Bay gave me the perfect opportunity to get some time at home. So many incredible things are happening with the campaign! I left our meeting (9-5 at Peete's coffee without a single break!) so excited to be a part of this movement.
A huge PR firm in Minneapolis, Martin Williams, has taken us on pro-bono a pitched a huge PR strategy for us. I'll post updates as it takes form. I was floored by their creative genius!
I just got off a conference call with the team at a start-up that wants to partner with us to launch a tv ad campaign. Again, more details to come, but I think this could be big :)
And last, but by no means least, we are finally launching SlaveryMap.org tomorrow to our constituency! This is a project I began working on shortly after I came on board with NFS, and I'm elated to see our vision finally come to fruition. I think this will be a monumental resource for engaging our constituency. Not only can the public view a collective database of trafficking incidents, but they can share research they conduct on slavery incidents to the map. There's also an embed function at the top of each incident, so you can post the map anywhere on the web.
Check it out, I'd love your thoughts and feedback!
