AUSTIN — First Lady Cecilia Abbott attended a press conference Thursday to announce her new partnership with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to fight against human trafficking.
TABC unveiled a public service announcement featuring the First Lady and TABC officials that builds upon their "Be The One" anti-human trafficking campaign.
“Across Texas, thousands of people are exploited through forced labor or the sex trade. And, as most of us go about our daily lives, these victims are hidden in plain sight,” the First Lady said. “But the people of Texas are joining together in the fight against human trafficking. Thank you to the TABC for launching this very important public awareness campaign. Working together, we will reach our goal of eradicating human trafficking from Texas.”
The campaign video alerts viewers to the most common warning signs of human trafficking at TABC establishments. You can watch the new video on the TABC's YouTube channel here.
