GTT is proud to take on the heart-wrenching issue of trafficking.  Living in a border town, some of our members have been assessing regional needs and discovered AT LAST (Anti Trafficking Litigation Assistance Support Team), which is launching a free online resource for advocates representing trafficking victims through the legal system. 
 
To follow up and finish what we started on August 20th, we are meeting at the law firm of Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins at 655 W. Broadway, Suite 1900, 92101, in downtown San Diego at 5 pm.  We will provide pizza and beverages at 5 pm then we’ll start hand redacting at 6 pm (no computers this time).  No special legal skills are necessary to participate; we will just be removing victims’ names from documents to maintain their confidentiality.  For more information, check out AT LAST at http://atlasteam.org/index.html.
