Driving Freedom Podcast
Welcome to Driving Freedom, a TAT Podcast! As TAT works to educate, equip, empower and mobilize members of the truck, bus and energy industries to combat human trafficking as part of their regular jobs, we wanted to create a podcast that would serve as a helpful training tool to one of the largest mobile armies of eyes and ears out there on the roads seeking to recognize and report this heinous crime. Each short episode is designed to refresh critical issues learned and keep this life-saving informationtop of mind.

Today's episode focuses on a key challenge that survivors face after getting out of "the life". Oftentimes survivors of human trafficking have extensive criminal records from their time being trafficked and those records can prevent them from obtaining employment and sometimes even access to housing. Beth Jacobs, TAT's field trainer, helps explain how these outdated laws often affect human trafficking survivors and some ways all of us, including private industry and advocates, can help make positive change in this area.
