Human Trafficking is a form of modern slavery that occurs in every state, including Oklahoma. Oklahoma ranks 28th in the nation in Federal Human Trafficking cases in 2018-19. As a apart of the A21 Tulsa team for the third year and Co-M.C. I walk because it’s important to be a part of the solution of hope, awareness, and restoration for those that are also in this type of bondage.
This is A21 Tulsa’s third annual walk against Human Trafficking in Tulsa Oklahoma that’s founded by Meg Weinkauf, it’s a local walk that’s a part of Global Impact.
