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. We truly believe that this generation is going to create change for justice in ways no other generation has before them. They have technology and opportunities that never existed before. [...]
It can be difficult running a faith-based nonprofit that does most of its ministry in the public school system. We are oftentimes faced with the challenge of figuring out how to say things in a way that won't get us kicked out, aka seem like we're preaching at the students. We dance in this tension [...]

The last half of 2015, we have been very prayerful about God opening new doors for RLR programs to reach more students. It is always exciting when He does! He has given us a lot of favor with Sandra Day O'Connor High School, and they allowed us to try out our new 5-day classroom presentation [...]
The Run Against Trafficking (RAT) Race this year was quite the success!! Hundreds showed up to walk or run the benefit 5k to raise awareness about sex trafficking and support all the anti-trafficking organizations in the Valley! This year Red Light Rebellion's team had 40 people on it (half of those being high school students) [...]
