The Racine Coalition Against Human Trafficking is hosting local vigils to raise awareness of this growing crime and to lift up the victims in those crimes up in prayer, according to a press release.
Representing a number of churches from Racine and Kenosha counties, members of the RCAHT Faith-based Committee will lead the vigils. The 2017 theme centers around Proverbs 31:8: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who need an advocate.”
Community members are encouraged to participate in the free vigils.
