The community in support of Sex Trafficking in Atlanta seems to be growing rapidly. Blogs pertaining to this are being recognized by additional media outlets and being asked to share their mission. This cause is in desperate need of recognition. Most websites focus first on educating the public, but even still we are being called to act.
Spread the word. Join the cause.
