Thursday, June 4th, 2026
Atlanta leaders, law enforcement agencies and hospitality industry representatives are launching a new effort aimed at preventing human trafficking ahead of next month’s World Cup events.
Mayor Andre Dickens said the “It’s a Penalty” campaign is leading the initiative as thousands of soccer fans prepare to travel to Atlanta.
“The campaign uses sports platforms to help people recognize the signs of trafficking to understand how to report these concerns and to know where you can find help,” Dickens said.
