In addition, he conducted extensive research for the organization, drafting an op-ed, writing a memo on the current political situation in the home country of a trafficking survivor, and conducting research on goods made with prison labor in the United States. In all, Zach contributed 275 hours in volunteer services to the Human Trafficking Legal Center, more than any single volunteer in our 12-year history.-
