About this Event

4th Annual Legislative Breakfast: Addressing Human Trafficking in NJ


Now in its fourth year, the Legislative Breakfast unites policymakers, advocates, survivor leaders, and community stakeholders to drive meaningful dialogue and action on human trafficking law, policy, and practice.


This year’s theme, “Human Trafficking at the Intersection of Sports” highlights the urgent issues hidden behind the spectacle of global sporting events like the FIFA World Cup. From labor exploitation in stadium construction and hospitality to increased sex trafficking during major tournaments, the convergence of sports and trafficking demands both urgent attention and policy-driven solutions.


Last year’s sold-out breakfast featured Amanda Stylianou, CEO of HEAL Trafficking, Survivor Leaders, and legislators, including Senator Linda Greenstein — and this year promises to be just as impactful.
