Description:

Join Restore Corps and MATA (wearing red!) on National Trafficking in Persons Day as we pour red sand to symbolize those who are often overlooked & left vulnerable. Together, we honor those who have fallen through the cracks in our society and bring awareness to the gaps that allow trafficking and exploitation to thrive!

The Red Sand Project is a nationwide art installation started by artist Molly Gochman in 2014. The project’s approach is symbolic, with the grains of sand representing those individuals who fall through the cracks. Today, people from over 60 countries participate in the Red Sand Project.

Restore Corps by Freed Life serves as the designated point of contact for human trafficking in the 21 counties of West Tennessee. 

Coffee and light breakfast will be served. Featuring a special presentation by Keeping It P, Memphis Creative Arts Collaborative.
