Background

SIDC in the Community

SIDC Mission

In 2013, several Savannah-based federal employees formed the SIDC to combine their efforts to support diversity and inclusion within their agencies and in our community. We have grown steadily ever since. As the first organization of its kind, the SIDC is a model organization for other cities, counties and states.


SIDC members meet monthly

SIDC members meet monthly to plan projects to enhance appreciation of social diversity in Savannah and promote understanding and inclusion of all Savannah area residents. We believe this helps build strong individuals, families and communities.

About human trafficking and traffick jam 2020

Why Traffick Jam?

Many citizens believe that slavery ended in the United States over 150 years ago. Unfortunately, recent incidents within our city limits and at a global level prove otherwise.  Exploitation for labor, commercial sex services, and indentured servitude earns traffickers over $32 billion annually in the United States. Oftentimes, we don't see or know warning signs because common misconceptions perpetuate myths about human trafficking.


The three forms of human trafficking are categorized as labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and indentured servitude. Surprisingly, the average age of entry seen at all levels is 13 years for girls and boys. In fact, more than 300,000 people remain trapped in the life of labor exploitation or forced prostitution within our borders. The majority of these victims are citizens and legal permanent residents.


The SIDC's annual Traffick Jams help to raise awareness, educate, ignite change to end human trafficking. The Savannah Interagency Diversity Council believes that these statistics can be changed through community-wide education & empowerment to eradicate crimes and harmful ideologies. With the support of more than 40 government agencies, nonprofit organizations and local businesses, then Savannah Traffick Jam links our local families, leaders, and professionals with the tools and resources to build safer communities.  Learn more details about Traffick Jam on the following pages.
