CBC students shine the light on human trafficking

CBC student Raman Nijjar and 77 others formed a human chain for Tuesday’s “Shine the Light on Human Trafficking” event on the Pasco campus of Columbia Basin College.

The Human Trafficking Awareness Month event was organized by the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society in partnership with the Support, Advocacy & Resource Center (SARC).

The 77 people stretched across the campus represented the reported victims in the region, said PTK club advisor Terry Marie Fleischman.

The college also plans a free film and public panel discussion at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29,in the Gjerde Center.
