With this wonderful weather we are having this week, it would be a great opportunity for Circles to take photos for this campaign.

Intercept the Traffickers Photo Campaign

In the language of football, we want to “ice” — or freeze —  trafficking and prevent traffickers from accomplishing their goals. We want a warm, just world in which all thrive. We must intercept trafficking.
United Methodist Women members are called to listen to the mandate of our faith to help the vulnerable. Even if you aren’t traveling to East Rutherford this Super Bowl season, you too can freeze human trafficking. Read this letter from the Iowa Attorney General's office, thanking local United Methodist Women groups for their efforts to stop human trafficking.
Between now and Feb. 2, 2014, take a picture of your United Methodist Women’s group holding a sign that says “Freeze! United Methodist Women is Intercepting Human Trafficking.” Do this in a “freezing” place—out in the snow, in the freezer section of the grocery store, holding ice cubes, standing by a freezer or ice machine. Be creative (and safe)! The most important part is to hold your sign and raise awareness that human trafficking exists and must be stopped.
Send your pictures to your conference communicators to share on conference websites and in newsletters. Post them on Facebook or Twitter and be sure to tag United Methodist Women. Or you can e-mail your digital photos to the United Methodist Women Flickr account, and send your captions to webadmin@unitedmethodistwomen.org. Stay tuned to the national website for more news. Sharing these photos will be a great way to show how we intercept human trafficking.
You can mail your physical photos to:
