🔴 Every grain of red sand represents a story—many painful, many unfinished, and all deserving of attention.

From July 27 to August 2, organizations across Tennessee will participate in the Red Sand Project a symbolic effort to raise awareness of human trafficking and inspire action to prevent it.

Ending human trafficking takes awareness, compassion, and a commitment to protecting those who may be at risk.

If you suspect human trafficking, contact:
📞 TBI Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-855-55-TNHTH
📞 National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888
📱 Text "BeFree" (233733) anytime.

Trained responders are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in more than 200 languages.
