February 13- Men Standing Against Trafficking
This month, let’s take back what Valentines Day should represent…lets honor the legacy of President Lincoln and his fight against slavery – let’s stand as MEN and women who have men they love – against the sexual exploitation of girls and boys, men and women – and for the love that God envisioned us to bring into this amazing world we share!
These STANDS are just the beginning of what we must bring to the fight against human trafficking.
February 19- Symposium on Chocolate
January 14- LA Freedom Walk
January 21- Men Standing Against Trafficking
Human Trafficking is happening here in our own backyards. As the men of Southern California, we’re not willing to let it continue. Stand up for the voiceless. Stand against the abusers. Stand together as protectors of the innocent. Stand. It’s that simple. We meet quarterly at trafficking hotspots across our region.
Wear a white shirt and jeans to demonstrate your solidarity. While we prefer advance RSVP’s for planning purposes, you are welcome to just show up on the night as well, if you are able. Event t-shirts will be available for purchase at the event. This is a free event.
