Los Angeles County proclaims January 2026 Human Trafficking Prevention Month, backs worker-focused awareness campaign
Summary
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously proclaimed January 2026 as Human Trafficking Prevention Month and approved a public-awareness campaign led by the Office of Labor Equity that emphasizes a public-health approach and outreach ahead of the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics.
