North West District UMW Team stands against Human Trafficking!
Join the North West District team in the "umbrella-defense" and take a stand against human trafficking in time for the Super Bowl. On Sunday, February 7, 2016, the Super Bowl will take place at Levi's® Stadium in Santa Clara, California. And like any big sporting event, a game like this intensifies the space where human trafficking can occur. That's why United Methodist Women has asked members to join the Intercept the Traffickers photo campaign and open your umbrellas to raise awareness of human trafficking. More information is at: http://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/intercept
