Being silent about human trafficking is not an option.

Modern-day slavery is a crime against humanity and the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world—generating $150 billion annually and enslaving more than 40 million people in 167 countries. A 2018 report by the Global Slavery Index estimated that more than 400,000 people in the United States work in forced labor, sexual servitude or forced marriages. COVID-19 has now exacerbated the issue, with traffickers preying on vulnerable individuals amidst high unemployment, and shelter-in-place orders.

For the past three seasons, Strike Out Slavery (SOS) has teamed up with Major League Baseball teams and players across the country to raise awareness about human trafficking.
