Toshia Shaw joined us to discuss The Embracing Project and the many ways it supports child sex trafficking victims. Julia Lazareck, President of Friends and Family of Incarcerated Persons, helped us understand what families experience when a family member is incarcerated and how to help when they come home. Assemblywoman Connie Munk explained the legislation that passed last session to help solve the problem of sexual assault and trafficking. And Sondra Cosgrove came to talk to us about the work of League of Women Voters to stop gerrymandering around the U.S.
