History

The Middle Georgia Alliance to End Regional Trafficking is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed by a group of Middle Georgians in January, 2010, during National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention month. The group emerged due to the public awareness campaign of Mercer University's student organization, S.T.O.P. (Sex Trafficking Opposition Project), and the national conference on sex trafficking it brought to Mercer in March of 2009. Though we've been working on this issue for two years now in various ways--helping to coordinate anti-trafficking protocol between law enforcement, victim's services, and the legal community--our non-profit organization is new, and we want you to be a part of our growing team.  We need your help to make Middle Georgia free of trafficking.

Our Mission

To prevent and combat human trafficking in Middle Georgia and throughout the world through community education, victim support, and legal advocacy.

Our Vision
A world where people are free from coercion, forced labor, and sexual exploitation. A world where people are free to choose their own destiny. A world where everyone recognizes and respects the inherent dignity of every human being. In short, a world without slavery or human trafficking.
