Stop Child Trafficking Now

My friend Brian Audia at Surgance has connected me with a group called Stop Child Trafficking Now, or SCTNow for short.  They are mobilizing teams of military trained professionals to monitor to bust sex trafficking rings — bringing to justice both the suppliers and those who are demanding child prostitution.

To support the cause, the are hosting benefit walks in major cities all across the country on September 27th.   SCTNow would like at 1,000+ people to walk here in Vegas, and I think they can count me on being one of the 1000+.  I can already imagine people from all different backgrounds out there with me. It’s fun to think of the church people and prostitutes both coming out to protect children from slavery. I can also imagine casino workers and strippers and government officials and small business owners; agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, and atheists.  

The founders of SCTNow are Ron and Lynette Lewis. Both are dynamic speakers on the evangelical Christian circuit, who desire to use their influence to motivate people toward change. Samples of their talks can be found on their websites and podcasts, and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve listened to so far.

This is just a brief look at what SCTNow is doing.  I hope you’ll do me a favor and check out www.sctnow.org. Then come back and let me know what you think. Would you walk on Sept 27th?
