    Episode 2- Human Trafficking in Plain Sight: How Trucking Can Make a Difference

    In Season 3, Episode 2 of Key Up New York, TANY Vice President of Government Affairs Zach Miller sits down with Senator Roxanne J. Persaud (D-19, Brooklyn) and TAT (formerly Truckers Against Trafficking) Deputy Director and Senior Director of External Affairs Kylla Lanier for a powerful conversation on human trafficking—happening far too often in plain sight. Together, they explore how the trucking industry can be part of the solution, including Senator Persaud’s legislation to incorporate TAT training into CDL licensing requirements. Awareness saves lives. Training creates action. And when drivers know what to look for, “See something, say something” becomes more than a phrase—it becomes a lifeline.
