The Trafficking in America Task Force is unwaveringly dedicated to ending human trafficking—one life, one community, and one survivor at a time. We join forces with partners across the United States and around the globe to confront traffickers, safeguard survivors, and prevent exploitation through powerful education, training, and action-driven advocacy.

Founded by Jerome Elam—a courageous male survivor of child sex trafficking, United States Marine Corps Veteran, and Survivor Leader with over twenty years of invaluable anti-trafficking experience—our mission is fueled by lived experience, unmatched credibility, and relentless determination. Jerome has trained law enforcement, judges, and prosecutors across Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Poland, and Austria, while sharing his powerful message internationally in England, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Africa, Australia, India, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, promoting survivor-centered solutions worldwide.

At the highest echelons of global policy and advocacy, Jerome has partnered with the Council of Europe, the United Nations, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). In 2023, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the United States Attorney General’s Alliance, recognizing his influential leadership and impact in the global battle against human trafficking.

Together, we empower and equip law enforcement, medical teams, educators, and mental health professionals, collaborating with local, state, and congressional leaders to forge stronger systems of protection and justice.

Human trafficking flourishes in silence. We are here to shatter it. If you’re ready to turn awareness into action, join us—and help cultivate a future where freedom is a reality for every victim and every survivor.
