This event will be held in First Free Methodist Church, on the corner of Seattle Pacific University's campus.
The RE.MEMBER tour offers the truthful struggle of two survivors of human trafficking. From Rani's and Trong's childhoods to today, you will take a visual and verbal journey through years of struggle, isolation and hope. You will come away with a defined understanding of what human trafficking is and how we can be the voice to see its end. You will learn about Homes of Freedom, the initiative of The Tronie Foundation that built the first ever safe haven in the Northwest for human trafficking survivors.

Opening Night...

Tonight in 17 different cities around the US Call and Response is making its debut.  There has been a lot of buzz here in Seattle about the film and we're encouraging everyone to check it out and to bring a friend so that we can spread the word about the realities of human trafficking.  Check it out at a theater near you.
