Hey, Midwesterners! Register for Stop Traffic today

We’ve posted before on fundraising events for the Stop Traffic conference, to be held in late March in Columbia, Missouri. Well, last day to register for the conference is tomorrow! (More info on the conference below the fold.)
Also in March, Jessica and I will be speaking at the University of Missouri-Columbia about blogging feminism!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Missouri feminists are seriously bad-ass.

Stop Traffic Now will focus on how students and communities can be involved in efforts to combat trafficking in persons at a local level. Conference activities will emphasize the strength of grassroots efforts by hosting panelists with experiences as student activists, lawyers, academics, researchers, victims, advocates, and founders of human trafficking organizations. Delegates will be divided into discussion groups which will meet throughout the course of the conference to converse about the topics being presented, brainstorm methods of involvement, and network.
Conference activities will include:
* Panels and speeches
* Films, exhibits and booths with information about human trafficking organizations and victims’ stories
* Workshops that teach delegates how to write effective Op Eds and host awareness raising events
Who: All high school & college students, faculty & staff, and community members who want to be activists in the fight against human trafficking
