Green Mountain Falls declares March Human Trafficking Prevention Month
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 20 26-04 declaring March 2026 (and every March thereafter) as Human Trafficking Prevention Month; Marshal Sean Marshall described local support options such as sharing resource links and referrals.
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved Resolution 20 26-04 declaring March 2026 and every March thereafter as Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Mayor introduced the resolution, explaining it grew from a mayor's caucus request to seek regional, uniform support for prevention and awareness efforts.
Marshal Sean Marshall urged trustees to support the resolution and said local action would primarily be supportive and informational: "Human trafficking affects all walks of life," Marshall said, describing past cases he has handled. Trustees discussed that the resolution does not create programmatic obligations but could include posting resources and links on the town website to inform residents about available services.
The board voted in favor and directed staff to publish the resolution and consider low-effort public-awareness actions such as website links to county and regional resources.
