Sup fags. I just received an email that I wanted to share and encourage you all to get involved in your communities. Fagging on this board is necessary and worthwhile however comma, pause for effect… being active in one's community is as well. This bad shit goes on because we let it so take your hand off your dick and get your finger out of your clam and get the fuck involved.

BLI Corner
To help end human trafficking, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Department of Transportation partnered to create the Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI).
BLI trains airline personnel on how to identify potential traffickers and human trafficking victims and report their suspicions to federal law enforcement. To date, BLI has trained more than 100,000 aviation industry personnel, and law enforcement continues to receive reports and tips from them.
BLI Announces New Partnership
BLI recently announced a new partnership with the world’s largest airline pilot union, the Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA), to fight human trafficking in the U.S. Because flight crew members are responsible for the operation of tens of thousands of flights across North America, they are uniquely positioned to identify and report signs of human trafficking to law enforcement. Through the BLI interactive training module, ALPA pilots can access the resources they need to help combat human trafficking and bring those who exploit human lives to justice.
