Thank you! Please speak with survivors of this movement @wickdchiq.bsky.social!

Thank you for covering this! Those of us who lived this nightmare 20 years ago have a lot to say: religiondispatches.org/want-to-know...

I do too! @responsiblehs.bsky.social

Would you consider joining me? You can donate financially or simply share my message to raise awareness about Mezzo Allies’ work.

Change requires collective action. So here I am, participating in a virtual walkathon to raise money for Mezzo Allies’ mission.

As the daughter of church leaders who should have reported family-controlled sex trafficking, I grieve with survivors. As an advocate, I work to end oppressive systems through education and policy change.

Mezzo Allies is doing critical work to train people around the country. I joined their board because I see the devastation that family-controlled trafficking inflicts on vulnerable children. Family-controlled trafficking and organized abuse create unique challenges for survivors.

I have worked with several survivors of family-controlled trafficking. My friend Kait Gannon is one of the most vocal survivors. She and Laurie Krull are co-founders of Mezzo Allies, a non-profit that educates people about family-controlled human trafficking.

41% of all human trafficking victims report that their exploitation began with a parent or a caregiver. When the home is the crime scene, traditional responses fall short. Survivors are criminalized, dismissed, or retraumatized.
