Long Island Against Trafficking (formerly The Long Island Taskforce) is a coalition that was founded in 2007 by a group of friends on Long Island who felt the need to contribute to something bigger in life.

They meet bi-weekly year round and host major fund-raising and advocacy events to create awareness of child trafficking on Long Island. They have done guest speaking at churches, synagogues, high schools, colleges, concerts, and more. They have also lobbied in their local, state, and federal legislators offices, written letters to Congress, and have contacted their local hotels to train them on how to identify the issue.
