Today is #worlddayagainsttrafficking day. For those who don’t know what this is, it is a day to raise awareness of the present horror that is human trafficking, child trafficking, and sex slavery. Over 40 million people are enslaved today, with about 10 million of those victims being children.
The facts are out there but we have refused to heed the horrific truths that pile around us. We refuse to save our children. We refuse to fight back. Not anymore.
Posting online CAN spread awareness, and that is where change begins. Share the facts. Share resources. Don’t be silent. The terrible truth is, many people have no idea what is truly going on.
If you don’t know where to start, here are some resources. As usual, be sure to do your own digging, as some of these places I’ve only just discovered.

#wearblue today, share awareness, get involved, and above all, pray. Maybe you are unable to get involved. Don’t let that silence your voice. Maybe it sickens you to realize the truth–as it should. Do not let that stop you from being a voice for the voiceless.
This topic has been close to my heart for a while now. One way I bring awareness is through my writing. The Infidel Books tackle MANY difficult topics. Child/human sex trafficking and slave trafficking is shown for what it is–vile but very prominent in our world. It isn’t easy to write. At all. But it is a way I can show the truth and remind people that these precious souls need our help. (Swipe for a few scenes that broke me to write…) If you have NO idea where to start raising awareness, start where you are at. If you’re an artist, a musician, etc, use your platform. ♥
Also, for the month of August, 5% of all sales at Irewolf Candles & Curiosities will be donated to Exodus Cry to join the fight against human trafficking and sex slavery.

WHEN THE NATION RIOTS, THE INFIDELS MUST BLEED.
The Second Civil War storms through the crippled US and winter brings nothing but disaster. West Johnston has earned his mafia father’s trust while searching for hidden answers: why are the UN leaders being assassinated, and why can’t the killers be found? If West can’t stop the Union from attacking D.C. in their last attempt to win the war, how can he stop his father?
Springtown remains one of the few townships left standing amid the tyrannical rule. Another group of gangsters prepare the town for winter. Rene’ Fisher is torn between fearing for her boyfriend Simon’s life and the upheaval taking place in Springtown. Can her father keep the town at peace? Will God have mercy on the allegiance the town must form with an unlikely candidate in order to survive, or will Rene’s home burn like the rest of the world?
Told in multiple bold, abrasive narratives, THE GRIM ALLIANCE steps into a war-ridden nation where bleeding for what you believe is the only option for those determined to win. But with faith, can even the bloodiest hands be made clean?
