Students Against Human Trafficking: An Afternoon with David Zach

Hey Trojans! January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and in recognition, the Trojan Activity Board is proud to host an informative presentation and discussion on the realities of human trafficking on January 29, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM at the Jackson Conference Center, Room 101. This event is open to all EvCC students and faculty. Donuts and hot beverages will be available for EvCC students.

This event will feature David Zach, an advocate in the fight against human trafficking and the lead singer-songwriter of his band. In addition to his work as a musician, Zach volunteers as an undercover operative with the abolitionist organization The Exodus Road, where he has spent time overseas documenting instances of children being sold and helping gather evidence used to support rescues and arrests. His story centers on the idea that ordinary people can make a meaningful difference in the fight for freedom and justice.

During the presentation, David Zach will share insights and documentary footage from his experiences, bring awareness to the often unseen realities of human trafficking, and discuss steps individuals can take to help combat exploitation in their own communities. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in conversations about how education, awareness, and individual actions are essential in addressing this serious issue.

Human trafficking remains a serious and often overlooked issue, affecting individuals across demographics. By increasing awareness and education, this event aims to empower the EvCC community with knowledge and resources to combat trafficking and support those affected.

Students and faculty are strongly encouraged to attend, engage in the discussion, and take the first step toward becoming informed advocates for change. Join us on January 29th to learn how your awareness and actions can help make a real difference in the fight against human trafficking.
