Louis Greek - Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT)

In this episode, Penny is joined by Louie Greek from Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) to explore how the trucking industry is stepping up to fight human trafficking. Louie sheds light on the realities of sex trafficking along American highways and the critical role truck drivers play in identifying and reporting suspicious activity.

The conversation dives into key topics, including the power of survivor voices, tackling the demand side of trafficking, and how partnerships and education are transforming the industry. Louie highlights TAT’s groundbreaking initiatives, like the Man to Man program, which addresses issues of masculinity, sexual objectification, and violence, as well as efforts to include vulnerable populations in this fight.

Listeners are encouraged to be observant, take action in their communities, and utilize TAT’s resources to make an impact. This insightful discussion underscores the importance of prevention, advocacy, and empowering the next generation to join the movement against human trafficking.
