#WearBlueDay is January 11, 2023

Bring awareness to your community (online or in person) about the scourge of Human Trafficking

Anyone can participate in #WearBlueDay. Below are a few ideas from the Department of Homeland Security to help you get started:

• Take a selfie. Snap a selfie with your phone, then post the photo on your preferred social media channel. Don’t forget to include the hashtag #WearBlueDay.
• Enlist others for a group pic. If you’re looking to make a bigger statement, get your colleagues, friends, family members, and community to join. You can even challenge others in your circle to see who can enlist the most people to participate.
• Record a video. Shoot a quick video while wearing blue as you explain yours. Get the conversation started by sharing the video across your social media accounts and inspire others to do the same.

Wearing blue on January 11, 2023 is proof that a little gesture can go a long way. Do your part this #WearBlueDay to support human trafficking lived experience experts and empower your community to learn more about identifying and reporting this heinous crime.
