About Us

Miriam: My name is Miriam Saad currently I am a freshman at California State University of Northridge. As of right now my major is undeclared, but I am considering studying Marketing or Sociology. I hope when people read our blog they see that, it is a good thing that this proposition has passed and all the positive effects that can come out of this proposition. I found it very interesting that Sacramento is a hotspot for human trafficking. It feels surreal that a city so close can be linked to human trafficking. I learned that Prop 35 does not only punish sexual trafficking but also labor trafficking. Companies taking advantage of workers to make money can be equally punished. I am now more aware of my rights if employers are not fair with their paycheck. I recommend that the readers should be aware this blog just shows the pros of Prop 35 and yes although their are negatives to the proposition, the positives outweigh them greatly. 


My name is Billie Staley. I am a freshman at CSUN and am currently enrolled in the cinema and television arts major. After college, I aspire to become a screenwriter. In a way, I really enjoyed doing this project. I thought it was cool that we were each given a topic and a basis to exploit that topic in a creative way. The more research I did for this project, the more I learned about human trafficking. I hope that from reading this blog, the readers will become more aware of this serious issue that surrounds us and find ways to help out--either by donating, walking to raise awareness, or other types of things. I've learned that human trafficking isn't something that happens in third world countries, but it happens everywhere and it can happen to anyone. I would recommend that readers go into our blog with an open mind, and a willingness to learn about something I once thought was nothing more than a nightmare one would have in their sleep.

My name is Joshua Yera, I am currently a student at CSUN and my major is Business Management. I have goals of opening up my own retail store later on in life. I am very satisfied with the topic we were given, it gave me a very good opportunity to open my eyes to the real dangers that are still present in today's society. Not only in other countries, but here in America as well, in the "land of the free, and home of the brave." I hope for our readers of this blog to realize that true dangers such as human trafficking still exist today. I've learned to be kinder when meeting new people, you never know the life they may have used to live, the trauma they may have from the things they've seen or done. I would recommend that readers of this blog do further research of their own to more inform themselves.


My name is andro, and I come from an Egyptian family; that lived in Egypt. I came to the United States at the age of 12. I lived most of my life in Egypt, but that doesn't mean that I didn't adapt to the American cultural. No, I did adapt to it. As everybody can tell I have an accent.so far to my school life. I am majoring in CIT; stands for computer information technology. And I want to minor in political science.The reader should realize that human trafficking is not an easy problem to solve. But in order for us to solve this problem we have to solve its roots. And human trafficking mixed with internet accounts doesn’t solve the problem in fact it makes it worth. So the main point that I want the reader to accomplish is that the accounts of human trafficker should be taken away from them. Since human trafficker will be using their internet account to expand the human traffickers.There are a couple of interesting things that I found out. But the main point that is really interesting is that I thought prop 35 took away people’s personal property. To relate this to internet accounts; according to the law it states “that human traffickers will have their internet accounts taken away from them”. And personally I thought in the beginning that it’s taking away their personal property. But then I realized that by letting them have internet accounts it increases the number of human traffickers.Recommendations for a reader; first to report any human trafficker because it’s effecting are community.Second, to be aware of human traffickers that has a social networking account.
