Name: Mabel
Social Justice Group: Human Trafficking
Date of Fieldwork: December 20, 2018
Name of Organization: Restore NYC
Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Cindy Bombeeck, Safe Home Manager
Type of Fieldwork: Interview
What I did:
We met Cindy at Le Pain Quotidian, and we asked her what she did and how she got started, and other things. She told us about her job, and we talked about the Social Justice Project.
What I learned:
I learned that white American girls are less likely to be trafficked than foreign-born girls or girls of color, but they get more attention in the media.
What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
I learned that doing work like this can catch you up quickly. It takes time and effort, but it is absorbing, and it feels good to be working for the good of the people.
