This is the silent crisis that no one wants to talk about. The women, men, and children whose labor builds our cities, stocks our grocery stores, and cleans our homes—yet they live in invisible chains.

Trapped, exploited, and voiceless. Forced labor and human trafficking are modern-day slavery, and it’s happening in our own backyards.

At the Latino Information & Resource Center, we refuse to look away. We are fighting for freedom. We are fighting for justice. And we will not stop until every person has the right to work with dignity, safety, and fair pay. Because our people are not disposable.
