Dear Friend,

Thank you for your interest in the National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking (NCPHST). My work on this initiative has grown to a global scale and has allowed me to collaborate with many outstanding individuals across our nation. As a result of our common commitment, the NCPHST, supported by several First Spouses, was formed to create awareness on a unified, national scale. 

The kickoff event for this powerful movement is Sunday, April 3, 2022, at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans. The intent of this event is to shine a light on human sex trafficking with the goal of eliminating its scourge on humanity in our states. Large-scale, national sporting events are a draw for traffickers. We have chosen to kick-off the awareness campaign in conjunction with the NCAA Final Four Collegiate Basketball Championship. We hope you will join us in this fight.

Louisiana has been a leader and innovator in combating this issue, and we are honored to lead this collaboration on a national level. My most profound belief is that the strides we have made will have a lasting positive impact on the people in our states and across the U.S. We are truly grateful for your support.

Regards,

Donna H. Edwards

First Lady of Louisiana
