It’s Almost Time for #WearBlueDay to Fight Human Trafficking

Anyone can make a difference by raising awareness about this crime. It is as simple as wearing a piece of blue clothing and posting about it.

President Biden has proclaimed that January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a time to bring attention to the crime of human trafficking.

On Tuesday, January 11, 2022, the DHS Blue Campaign invites you to shine a spotlight on human trafficking by participating in #WearBlueDay. Anyone can make a difference by raising awareness about this crime. It is as simple as wearing a piece of blue clothing and posting about it throughout the day on the social media platform of your choice. There are many ways you can get the conversation started:

  • Take a selfie
  • Gather family, friends, or colleagues for a group photo
  • Share a video about why you wear blue
  • Host an in-person or virtual event

However you decide to share your support, just make sure you use the hashtag #WearBlueDay. Stay tuned for what is coming up throughout the month by following Blue Campaign on social media (@DHSBlueCampaign on TwitterFacebook, and Instagram).
