Sex trafficking is different from many other crimes, partly because it encompasses a lot of other crimes. There are some pimps sitting in jail, or will go to jail, and never be sentenced with a sex trafficking charge. Charging people for sex trafficking is a new phenomenon, so there are many crimes with minimum sentencing [...]
It is amazing to see how God has set up His Kingdom so that He uses us to spread the message of the Gospel. When we have somewhat of a grasp on our depravity and foolishness as human beings, it seems quite ludicrous that He has intentionally made it happen that way. Yet He wants to [...]
Before spring break we only had 1.5 weeks of school events on the calendar for the rest of the semester. It wasn't too long after that we ended up having three and a half! Every time we said that we would have to start turning people down because our schedule was too full, another unbelievable opportunity would come up - [...]
The heartbeat behind Red Light Rebellion is to equip students with all the tools/resources they need in order to join the fight against sex trafficking.

The way God brings people together for ministry is absolutely amazing to me! Meeting FREE International and the rest of Blitz the Trafficker team has given us so many blessings this last year! We were stoked to make it out to Super Bowl again to look for missing/exploited children. (For the full scoop on our [...]
Red Light Rebellion works to prevent sex trafficking from happening to young people. We do this through many different avenues, one of which is spreading the word in classroom settings at Jr High and High Schools. Most schools are apprehensive when we approach them about coming on campus for presentations. Their concerns stem from sex [...]
The classroom presentations have already started for the year! This is our third semester at Cactus High School presenting to Law Enforcement and Social Justice classes. Most of the students are interested in a career in law enforcement in one form or another. We have started to introduce an action item specific to these classes, [...]
I arrived and was immediately instructed to put any personal items or items that can be turned into weapons in a locker before security opened the door. Apparently anything can be turned into a weapon. (Just kidding, I already knew that - that Mexican blood runs deep!) Any noise that was made echoed throughout the [...]
