Over the years, she’s lent her expertise to national organizations and boards combatting human trafficking and abuse of women and children.
She’s a partner with The National Center On Sexual Exploitation and a member of The Coalition To End Sexual Exploitation.
In 2021, Landon directed the largest coalition and demonstration at our Southern border exposing the human trafficking crisis.
