Legacy Church is hosting Susan Norris of non-profit, Rescuing Hope
on January 20, 6-7:30 pm
1040 Blackwell Road, Marietta 30066
Susan will share with parents, grandparents, teachers, youth, youth workers and mentors about human trafficking. Yes, it's obviously not a very fun or entertaining topic for any of us, however, it is a very real-world problem - specifically in the Metro Atlanta area. Susan's passion is to equip her audience to protect themselves and their children, and for them to leave as advocates and lookouts for those in their midst.

Rescuing Hope's Goals are:
To Enlighten
To Educate
To Empower
To Enlighten
- Bring awareness through community, church, civic and small group events. People need to understand this problem exists and how relevant it is to them before they will be motivated to do anything about it.
To Educate
- Teach school and hospital personnel indicators of sex trafficking victims and help them establish protocols for responding.
- Teach business owners about the industry and how it can impact their productivity and bottom line.
- Evaluate social media apps, looking for ways traffickers could use them to lure unsuspecting targets into the sex trade, and make the information available to parents and students.
- Teach students how the sex trade works and explain steps they can take to make themselves a less likely target.
To Empower
- Empower and connect volunteers and advocates with organizations involved in the anti-trafficking movement.
- Support survivors’ transition from sexual exploitation by connecting them with resources needed to move from victim to survivor to thriver.
- Mentor survivors.
