ABOUT US
Human trafficking, at its core, is a mental health crisis. In the world today, it is estimated that there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery globally, while 50,000 people are reportedly trafficked into the United States alone each year.
In 2017, Hue Jackson and his wife, Michelle, decided to draw upon personal experience, dedication, and passion to not only do something to affect change towards combating human trafficking, but they also embarked on a mission to do more and founded the Hue Jackson Foundation.
The primary goals of the Hue Jackson Foundation are established in education and action. Not only does the foundation provide training and speaking engagements to educate the community on how to recognize human trafficking, avoid it, and assist those who have been impacted by it, they have used their resources through a network of supporting agencies and law enforcement to assist in the recovery of individuals who have gone missing and may or may not be a known or at risk victim of human trafficking.
