Wanted to check in - how is everyone doing? Are you okay? Are you needing anything? Please reach out if you need to or have questions. As an update for volunteers, I'm going to be reaching out to a few of yall about a fundraiser we will organize in Charlotte, but it's on hold right now, as I'm sure you understand.

The global work of Love146 continues despite the pandemic going on - see this link for updates. https://love146.org/covid19/

As schools and many community activities close, many children will spend more time online. This is where most youth in our care met their traffickers. They may be more lonely, stressed, or even burdened by added financial strain their families will go through. Traffickers see opportunity here and ce...

Hey All!

Wanted to share this article out of Atlanta that is highlighting the human trafficking issue (horrors) in a big & unique way.

For the Charlotte team, stay tuned as I'm working on getting something together shortly for us to start our volunteer efforts back up!

Freedom Fighter IPA from Gate City Brewing is a new beer featured on Delta this month. The beer raises awareness about human trafficking and encourages victims to get help.

Great news for this take down! Horrible that it exists at all, but this is a huge win for eliminating child exploitation.

"As a result of the investigations, Jong Woo Son, 23, a South Korean national, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for operating the site. Son has also been charged and convicted in South Korea and is currently in custody in South Korea. The operation resulted in the seizure of approximately 7.5 terabytes of child po*******hy videos, the largest of its kind: that’s more than 10,000 CDs full of imagery that are no longer in the hands of child pornographers. The images, which are being analyzed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), contained over 250,000 unique videos; 45% of the videos contain images that have not been previously known to exist."

The largest dark web child po*******hy site in the world has been taken down. That was the word today at a joint press conference from agents including IRS-CI announcing arrests and forfeitures.

Heads up abolitionists! Love146 is taking a new approach this year!

This non-event from Love146 made me smile. You know those big fundraising events where you get dressed up, make small talk, and listen to inspirational speeches, all to help raise much-needed money for a great cause? Sometimes don’t you think: Just this once I’d rather stay home and know that 10...
