Description

When Minutes Matter: Coordinating Rapid Survivor Air Transport Across Agencies & NGOs highlights how federal agencies, nonprofits, and law enforcement collaborate to move trafficking survivors quickly from danger to safety. The panel emphasizes that success depends on clear communication, shared protocols, and trusted partnerships that enable immediate, coordinated action when a survivor is identified. Ted Greenfield of Invisible Angels explains how air transport enables discreet, rapid relocation and how coordination with major air carriers ensures survivors and advocates travel with privacy and dignity. Isaac McKeithen of the U.S. D.O.T. describes how TSA and Federal Air Marshals create accommodations for survivors without identification while maintaining security. Jessica Kern of Raindrops Rising outlines how her team identifies survivors and coordinates with the DOT and investigator Marlon Cole to secure transport, supporting legal processes, and coordinating safe transfers.
