What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where individuals are exploited for labor or commercial sex against their will. It’s a pervasive issue that transcends borders, affecting millions worldwide, including many right here in Iowa. Every year, countless individuals, often vulnerable and marginalized, fall victim to this heinous crime.

Why Attend the Red Sand Project?

- Symbolic Action: We’ll be placing red sand in the cracks of the sidewalk to symbolize those who have fallen through the cracks of society due to human trafficking. Each grain represents a life impacted by this tragedy.

- Community Impact: Recent studies indicate that Iowa has seen an alarming increase in reported cases of human trafficking, affecting both adults and minors. By attending, you’ll not only show your support against human trafficking, but also help spark conversations that can lead to change.

- Education & Resources: Learn more about the signs of trafficking, how to recognize it, and what you can do to help combat this issue in our community.

Your presence matters. Together, we can raise awareness, foster understanding, and work towards a future where everyone is safe and free from exploitation.

Join us in making a difference! Bring your friends, family, and anyone who believes in a brighter future for all. Let's stand together against human trafficking. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,

Marielle Sweborg
