Human trafficking is the 2nd largest criminal industry in the world reaping an estimated $32 billion in the trade of human beings and the average age a victim enters trafficking is 11 to 14 years old. It’s estimated that 79,000 minors and youth in Texas are being trafficked
Denise Mears our guest today, is a local mom, wife and friend who is doing the most amazing work in our community through an organization she founded in 2019 called Project Protect our Children. https://projectprotectourchildren.com

A Human Trafficking Survivor's Truth with Rich Love

In this episode I am joined by my good friend Rich Lovee who is a Human Trafficking Survivor Leader Director at NoTrafficking Zone, Recording Artist, RBRW Show Host, Truth Speaker and Child Of God 🙌🏽
Today we cover all topics from human trafficking and politics to racism and religion.
Rich Love has done some phenomenal work with No Trafficking Zone (NTZ) where she played an important role in getting the NO TRAFFICKING ZONE Bill SB1831 passed at every level (senate, house, criminal, commitee etc.)

SB1831 exponentially raises the penalties for texting, calling, trespassing and stepping within 1000 feet around the perimeter with intent for the crime of human trafficking and exploitation.
SB1831 will help prevent students at school, sports stadiums, UIL Events and learning facilities from being trafficked. It will allow our children to go to school in peace, but give traffickers and groomers a literal message and signage that says, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, this is a NO TRAFFICKING ZONE

Kids should be able to learn in peace, and I KNOW this will help prevent kids from being Trafficked out of their school, like me and countless other youth has been.
