Delta Air Lines held an event Friday with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and actor and former NFL player Terry Crews for Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

Megan Lundstrom, a survivor of trafficking, also spoke at the event.

Delta this month added a new video on human trafficking that passengers can watch on the airline’s in-flight entertainment system. That’s among the efforts the company says it is making to increase awareness, particularly during the lead-up to the Super Bowl in Atlanta next month.
