June UAHT Coalition Meeting

​June Coalition Showcase: Protecting Houston During the Global Summer of Soccer

​As Houston prepares for an unprecedented series of worldwide soccer matches this June, our city is gearing up for a massive influx of international visitors and economic activity. While these matches bring a spirit of celebration, we recognize that such a significant surge in tourism and spending creates an environment ripe for human trafficking and exploitation.

​The UAHT Coalition serves as the central nervous system for Houston’s anti-trafficking efforts. We are a collective of social service agencies, faith-based groups, and business partners dedicated to a systemic, coordinated solution. We believe that ending exploitation requires more than just awareness; it requires a unified network of resources.

​Why Attend?

​This month’s meeting is our Coalition Showcase. We are inviting all organizations—from healthcare and hospitality to local government and non-profits—to join us. This is the perfect opportunity to:

• ​Stay Informed: Understand how the sudden arrival of thousands of visitors impacts local trafficking risks and what red flags to look for during major city events.

• ​Meet the Movement: Get a "behind-the-scenes" look at the organizations that make up the anti-trafficking movement and learn about the specific work being done across Greater Houston.

• ​Discover Our Mission: Learn how the coalition coordinates care and advocacy to ensure that every survivor has access to the support they need.

• ​Get Involved: Whether you are directly involved in anti-trafficking work or simply care about the safety of our community, find out how your organization can support our collective mission during this high-traffic season.

​The influx of visitors this June is a call to action. Come learn who we are, what we do, and how we can work together to keep our city safe.
