If the group is having trouble generating their own ideas, these suggestions can help get things started:

Attend a criminal trial or criminal arraignments and compare the experience to the proceedings in the film. Check to see if there are any problem-solving courts in your region. If not, consider advocating for the creation of courts that seek to resolve problems rather than simply doling out punishment.

Hold a teach-in featuring speakers working to de-criminalize prostitution and/or who take a “rights not rescue” approach to helping people who have been sexually exploited (i.e., defending the human rights of those who have been exploited rather than approaching them as people who need to be saved).

Plan an event to observe the annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers (December 17).

Ask local law enforcement or political representatives for a briefing on what’s happening your community to end human trafficking and what you could do to help.

Provide support for organizations in your community that provide services to defendants in cases related to sex work (like GEMS, Garden of Hope, or Sanctuary for Families).

Inform yourself on the laws in your area that govern sex work and how they are enforced.
