On Friday, February 27, we’ll be joined by Josie Feemster and Ummra Hang for a focused conversation on how survivors are coerced into criminalized activity and then prosecuted for the very exploitation they endured.

 🗓️ Criminalized Survivors: Labor Trafficking Through Forced Criminality
📅 Friday, February 27, 2026
🕘 9:00–10:00 a.m. PT | 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET
📍 Register Here

 Together, we will examine:

• How forced criminality functions as a labor trafficking tactic

• Why survivors are routinely misidentified within the justice system

• The language, assumptions, and charging decisions that compound harm

• Practical considerations for supporting survivors navigating active charges or criminal records

This is a critical conversation for advocates, attorneys, service providers, and system leaders who want clearer identification practices and more accurate responses when exploitation presents as crime.

 As always, the webinar will be recorded. If you can’t attend live, register and we’ll send the full recording afterward.
