First day advocating in Anaheim

Saturday was the first day starting our advocacy campaign in Anaheim.  I was very happy with how the day went.  We were able to put up 4 "look beneath the surface" posters (The posters have a 800 Trafficking hotline number on it and information about what trafficking is). These are the first posters on display on this street.   I consider that a 400% increase in trafficking awareness on the street.  Definitely a success. 
Conversations were not as productive as i was hoping.  It was difficult developing significant dialogues into places of business because of customers.  So we are going to change up some of the initial vision we have had for the advocacy groups. We still want to post as many signs as we can, but in addition to that we are going to start doing door to door awareness.  We're hoping that this will create opportunity for deeper dialogue.  Stay posted for more stories from other groups' experience.
