Brewer is a member of the advisory council of StopHumanTraffickingNY.org, an organization that successfully pushed for New York's tough new anti-trafficking laws.
Under the new anti-trafficking legislation sex trafficking is a Class B felony, which could entail up to 25 years in prison, and labor trafficking is a Class D felony, which could lead to jail time of up to 7 years. The new law provides for a range of comprehensive services for trafficking survivors such as health care, emergency housing, job training, and services related to immigration protection, among several others. The new law also increases the penalties on patronizing prostitution, which went from a B to an A misdemeanor, and clarifies the existing New York law on sex tourism. . . .
