“We need to do more to help the victims who are forced into sex trafficking and help them to freedom, while being mindful of their needs and walking with them to help them heal from their trauma. Our desire is to see more people be made aware, volunteer, advocate, and partner with us in our mission to eradicate sex trafficking,” Dr. Doug Bennett, founder and president of Magdalene Hope, said.
Other acts on the bill include hard rock band, Spoken and Bakersfield native, Nate Parrish.
