On January 11, 2019 the Oregon Department of Justice had their first annual National Human Trafficking Awareness Day Awards Ceremony. The Rotary Clubs of Oregon were recognized for their support, activities, advocacy, education and awareness related to the great strides our communities have made these past 7 years. District 5100 Includes Salem to Clark County and the Washington/Oregon Coast to Wallowa County. The remainder of Oregon is part of District 5110. Grants Pass has been active and a former Portland Rotarian took the work East Portland has been doing to the Newport, Lincoln City and surrounding areas.
Thank you Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and her Statewide Trafficking Intervention Advisory Committee who nominated Rotary for this award. Dana Clark was honored to receive this award on behalf of the Rotary Clubs in Oregon from Officer Mike Gallagher and Liz Alston, Oregon CSEC Coordinator DHS.
On National Human Trafficking Awareness Day (January 11, 2019), over 70 people walked NE 82nd Avenue from Glisan Street to Sandy Boulevard. Historically, this portion of 82nd was known for prostitution.
Our goal was to gather Rotarians, Interactors, friends, family, community members and survivors. Law enforcement (including the Sex Trafficking Unit, and parole and gang officers) joined us to show their support for those youth still in the life. We walked carrying battery operated candles, safety vests and anti-trafficking signs. We demonstrated to the youth that we know they don’t have the choice when their trafficker sends them out to find “dates” no matter the weather.

A great time was had by all as East Portland Rotarians, spouses and friends gathered to celebrate the season. This year's event was held in Southeast Portland at Eastmoreland Golf Course.
