Hello HTTFCC community!
Here’s the Zoom update I’ve been promising! We’ve switched to a one‑time registration for our monthly meeting series! This means fewer emails, easier access, and the ability to join any meeting throughout the year with just one sign‑up.
I’m excited to invite you to our Monthly Community Education Meeting, a space created to strengthen our shared understanding of Human Trafficking and support the network of people who show up for survivors every day.
Each month, we’ll feature special speakers, presentations, and webinars focused on building practical knowledge, highlighting local resources, and empowering both survivors and the multidisciplinary partners who walk alongside them.

You may still see a “canceled event” message from the previous meeting series in your calendar. That’s expected and doesn’t affect this new meeting. The link above is the current, active registration link for our ongoing monthly gatherings.
Thank you for your continued commitment to survivor‑centered, trauma‑informed work. I’m grateful to be learning and growing alongside this community.
Our community meetings happen on the last Wednesday of each month, with two holiday exceptions:
November: One week early on November 18th.
December: No meeting — time for family, rest, and giving back
This Month's Speaker is Rashan Williams!
Rashan Williams Jr. Serves our youth and communities in the PNW through youth mentoring
( Shifted Theory) as well as providing Restorative Justice to K-12 school settings. This is not
work for him, but a passion in life.
Rashan was born in the early 90’s in Los Angeles, CA to two teenage parents, one particularly engulfed in the gang culture and who is now currently serving a life sentence. As a child of an incarcerated parent Rashan had to maneuver life's hurdles from a different lens and teach himself certain skills. Growing up he knew the impact a positive role model could have on someone's life or lack thereof. Throughout life Rashan was afforded the opportunity to find mentoring through sports, some of his friends were not awarded these same opportunities, this drove his passion for focusing on kids who slipped through the cracks.This is the reason he is here, these interactions molded the intentionality for becoming a dedicated mentor, community activist, father, and coach to many youth who face challenges. Rashan possesses a strong belief system, core values, and his (why’s) for being in this line of work are strong. He is not only a devoted father to two beautiful daughters, but also has teenage siblings growing up in today's generation. With social media , drug culture , and rigid lifestyles being the influence of the youth today, his focus is on shifting the theory and mindsets of youth and young adults. With a rich background in youth advocacy, the aim is to inspire individuals to reach their full potential in life alongside giving back to the next generation that follows them.
Rashan is striving to help youth and young adults gain and regain their independence to thrive successfully.
