CA could have led on forced-labor prevention.
AB 381 didn’t pass — and now a complaint alleges Hyundai & Kia supplied the state with goods linked to forced labor.
With $19B in annual contracts, CA can’t afford weak protections.

"Rescue is ill-suited a response to trafficking."
A subject matter expert with lived experience responds to The New York Times article, “Can Anyone Rescue the Trafficked Girls of L.A.’s Figueroa Street?”Survivors’ realities are complex, and meaningful change begins by centering their voices.

It’s been 1 month without FY25 TVPA funds. 100+ trafficking victim grants expired 9/30, leaving 5,000 survivors without lifesaving support. Tell DOJ: restore services & release funds 👉 https://bit.ly/4gFNhyx
