Dahlstrom, Clinical Legal Fellow at Boston University, Quinn Kepes, Program Director at Verité, an organization dedicated to fair labor practices worldwide, and Dan Johnson from Freedom Cafe, a student run cafe that supports anti-trafficking efforts from proceeds of its sales. The 2 p.m. panel discussion was free and open to the public.
