Red X’s and Why I am Tired of Awareness

Earlier this week, a sweet friend emailed and said that she noticed that a red X seemed to be the message of the day in the trafficking movement – said she didn’t know how I felt about it, but that she was praying.  Praying for me, and for those still bound, and those who are still trying to recover.

I knew the red X.  I mean, at least, I knew that it was part of another awareness campaign – one backed by big bucks.

But at the time, I was sitting on the beach.  And I didn’t care.
