TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A walk to raise awareness of human trafficking will take place on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 9 a.m. at the northwest corner of Reid Park.
Southern Arizona Against Slavery is hosting its first Walkin' the Miles event. The walk will have a DJ, silent auction, bouncy castle and food trucks.
The walk will be led by eight human-trafficking survivors, who will be honored at the event.
"I am a volunteer with SAAS (Southern Arizona Against Slavery) and we have worked so hard on this event over the past year and can't wait to share resources and raise awareness with the community. I attended a training several years ago about sex trafficking and how prevalent it is in Arizona and ever since then it has become my passion to provide survivors with therapy, resources and raise awareness about this issue in this community," Stacy Briana said. "I want to encourage the community to come join us for this family friendly event. We will have jumping castles, food trucks, tables with resources in the community, and a bunch of amazing silent auction baskets. All proceeds from the silent auction will be used to benefit survivors. Come join us to honor our survivors and join the fight!"
