When the Cleveland Browns hired Hue Jackson as their head coach in January of 2016, one of the areas he vowed to work on was changing the culture of the club.
Little did anyone know at the time, but Jackson had his sights set beyond just the Browns locker room when he talked about making a difference.
Jackson announced on Tuesday that he and his wife, Michelle, are establishing the Hue Jackson Foundation to help organizations that are working to end human trafficking.
The Browns released the news on their website:
“Victims of Human Trafficking have been robbed of their autonomy and self-respect by traffickers that use violence, physical and emotional coercion, fraud, debt bondage and other means to subjugate their victims and exploit them for sex and labor commerce.
