Stand Up to Bullying
Bullying is a problem in many schools. The same young people who are targets of bullies are also at disproportionate risk of falling victim to traffickers.
The Grace Network
http://www.thegracenetwork.org/History
The Grace Network (TGN) began fighting human trafficking informally since January 2009. In the summer of 2011, TGN took its mission to the next level and became a formalized anti-trafficking initiative in Sacramento, CA. Since then, TGN has experienced tremendous growth in a period of four years – mobilizing thousands of people to combat human trafficking and being featured by local TV, radio and print media. Now, with the GraceCity™ app launch, TGN’s team travels throughout California to equip and empower communities to holistically address trafficking and exploitation.
Mission
To mobilize and give resources to communities throughout the Sacramento region to combat human trafficking locally and beyond

In Search of Freedomville
In a tiny speck of a village in Uttar Pradesh, India, a community of rock quarry miners have given their cluster of thatched roofed houses the name Azad Nagar. Freedomville. The miners named their village in 2000, only a few months after they staged a slave revolt that overthrew the profit-driven landowners who had held their families in slavery in rock quarries for generations. If you search for Azad Nagar on a map, you won’t find it. To everyone else, it’s called Sonbarsa. Located in the poorest province in one of the poorest countries in the world, Sonbarsa is a barren, rocky, plot of land in the middle of one of the most densely populated states in the world.
