It's In Our Own Backyard

Human trafficking is not simply an occurrence outside of the United States.  Unfortunately, it is thriving right here in Georgia.  Street Grace is a faith-based organization leading churches, community organizations and individual volunteers on a comprehensive path to end domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) in Metro Atlanta and throughout the United States.  Visit their website at http://streetgrace.org/ to see how you can get involved.

Here is an awareness video they have released about the horrors that are happening:
