For 10 years the Catholic Church of St. Ann’s FACTS Ministry has been giving voices to the voiceless at Anti-Human Trafficking Advocacy Day at the Georgia Capital, and have helped to pass 10 NEW LAWS to protect victims and punish perpetrators of child s*x trafficking! 🙌🏻👊🏼🎉

Help keep our 10-year fight going - We need new leaders to step up. Are you being called? *xtrafficking

It was an energizing day representing the St. Ann’s FACTS Ministry at the Georgia State Capital!

2026 Human Trafficking Advocacy Day Summary:

HB490 -bill introduced last year to combat hotels being knowingly complicit in s*x trafficking.

HB1187 -aka "Trey’s Law”-bill prevents NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) in any case involving child s*x abuse (trafficking) cases.

The most poignant take away for Advocacy Day at the Capitol was from Rep. Brian Strickland (District 42) who reminded us that we must continue to “Show up and acknowledge the issue!”

S*x trafficking in Georgia is an ongoing issue. Traffickers are betting that Georgia citizens will forget the atrocities and news after a while. We must continue to stand up and speak for those who cannot. Join our fight!

Grim statistics from our ministry partner. Let’s spread awareness, and have important conversations with children 👀

New reports show that there are over 800,000 daily online predators actively seeking to exploit children for s*xual purposes. This statistic highlights the urgent need for awareness and protection for our kids in the digital world.

As parents, guardians, and community members, we must educate ourselves and our children about online safety. Encourage open conversations about their online activities, monitor their interactions, and use parental controls to create a safer online environment.

Let’s work together to raise awareness about this critical issue and advocate for stronger protections for our children. Remember, vigilance and communication are key! *xualexploitation *xualExploitation

🚨 Four Arrested in Operation Targeting Online Predators 🚨

Between October 14–16, 2025, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with our law enforcement partners, conducted a proactive undercover operation to identify and arrest individuals attempting to exploit minors online.

This three-day initiative resulted in the arrest of four suspects, each charged with Online Solicitation of a Minor, a felony offense.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez stated: “These cases highlight the importance of proactive enforcement to protect our most vulnerable residents — our children.”

We remain committed to safeguarding our community and ensuring those who seek to harm children are brought to justice.

We were impressed with the artistic flair of the jewelry the girls made with their personalized bead boxes from the FACTS ministry! They were so excited to receive them - they couldn’t believe they got to keep their own box full of beads and possibilities 💕 Volunteers also brought a yummy Mexican meal that the girls gobbled up. This was our largest group ever -15 girls at the new location. Please sign up to help us with our next fun visit! Wellspring Living
