2018 LUNCHEON SPEAKER SERIES
Registration
AUGUST 14 Red Means Help - Victims Of Labor Trafficking
Please join us Tuesday, August 14th at noon at the federal courthouse in Portland (lunch tickets available here) or via FacebookLive on the Queen’s Bench Facebook page for "Red Means Help - Victims Of Labor Trafficking" with Michael Encke (Gonzales, Gonzales & Gonzales Immigration Law Offices) and former refugee, Portland Police Bureau Officer Natasha Haunsperger.
The Red Means Help campaign launched in April 2017 to stop human labor trafficking in the Portland metro area. Labor trafficked individuals are brought to the U.S. from other countries under a false promise of a good job; instead, they wind up being forced to perform labor for free.
The Red Means Help campaign reaches out to victims in their own languages through signage on public transit and other high traffic areas. It lets them know that the Portland Police want to help and that they have rights, regardless of the lies, threats, misinformation, or coercion from their traffickers. CLE credit is being sought.
Please watch the following 30-minute film in preparation for the lunch: Reclaiming Their Lives.
For those attending in person, lunches are $15 ($5 for students) and can be purchased on the Queen’s Bench website, at http://www.owlsqueensbench.org/monthly-luncheons.html. Attendees are always free to RSVP to owlsqueensbench@gmail.com and bring their own lunch at no cost. As always, nursing mothers, children, and all members of the Portland community are celebrated and welcome at Queen’s Bench luncheons.
If you are unable to make this lunch in person, tune in to Facebook Live on the Queen’s Bench Facebook page for a live stream of the event! The live stream is also stored on our Facebook page for convenient viewing any time, free of charge, from any device.
