AWARENESS to ACTION!
WHAT ARE COMMUNITY
GROUPS?
A MAP Community Group is a
collection of passionate people who
work together to address slavery
in their community. They provide
opportunities for community
involvement by developing a presence
in the local community focused on
addressing slavery and injustice.
WHAT DO COMMUNITY
GROUPS DO?
To fulfill the mission of “Awareness
to Action”, Community Groups equip
and mobilize their local community.
They plan events and activities
focused on prevention, advocacy, and
awareness, and partner with other
organizations to create change in their
neighborhood, city, and county.
Examples of Community Group
activities:
• Training first-responders such as
law enforcement, social services,
medical professionals, and
teachers.
• Organizing a Freedom Marketplace
– a fair trade market featuring
products from around the world
(including local products)!
• Film screenings – during January
2014 for Human Trafficking
Awareness Month Community
Groups screened the film Chosen
all across the state.
