State Alumni is pleased to announce next Q&A Live event on the topic of Modern Human Trafficking. On Thursday, June 23, 2005 at 09:30-10:30am (UTC 13:30-14:30), Ambassador John R. Miller, Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking In Persons, and Senior Advisor to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on human trafficking, will be live online to answer questions from alumni on this serious global issue. The Trafficking in Persons Office coordinates US Government activities in the global fight against modern-day slavery, including forced labor and sexual exploitation, which impacts some 800,000 women, children, and men every year. Trafficking in persons is a form of modern-day slavery that takes place in every corner of the world. In an effort to raise global awareness and spur foreign governments to take effective actions to counter trafficking in persons, the US State Department annually publishes a Trafficking in Persons Report. The Report is congressionally mandated by the 2000 Trafficking in Victims Protection Act. We encourage alumni to look at this report to learn more about these complex issues, and submit their questions to the Ambassador. From 1985 to 1993, Mr. Miller served in the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Washington. Prior to being elected congressman, he was active in state and municipal governments, serving as Assistant Attorney General for Washington; Vice President and Legal Counsel for the Washington Environmental Council; and Seattle City Councilman. While in Congress, Mr. Miller held a seat on the House Committee on International Relations and was a member of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. He was active in furthering the struggle of Eastern European countries to gain freedom from the control of the then-Soviet Union, and he visited Lithuania to encourage free elections and independence there. For his leadership on human rights, the Seattle Anti-Defamation League gave Mr. Miller its Torch of Freedom Award. If the time of this Live Q&A Event is not convenient for you, please keep in mind that you are more than welcome to submit your questions beforehand, and check back later to read the transcript.
