Vision: We are fighting to create a world where all people are empowered to live in FREEDOM. Mission: IN OUR BACKYARD links arms across Oregon and America to fight human trafficking through education, mobilization, and partnership. In Our Backyard (IOB) focuses on ending the sex and labor trafficking of adults, and youths taking place right here in the United States. IOB works to educate the public, raising awareness and generating concern regarding this critical issue. Human Trafficking, in several forms, is proliferating right here in America's "backyard." As long as Human Trafficking occurs, IOB will be working toward the day when human enslavement no longer exists in the United States.
