A group of businesses in western Massachusetts have announced a formal effort to combat human trafficking.

Led by MGM Springfield, local business leaders from the hospitality and transportation industries have been meeting on the issue since last year. 

Jen Falcone, a social worker,  is coordinating the efforts.  She spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

For more information, Falcone can be contacted at JenFalcone413@gmail.com

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
