The Juvenile Justice Fund’s campaign to stop the prostitution of children in Georgia asks all area runners and walkers to participate in its 2nd Annual “7200 Steps to Stop Demand 5K.” AFNAP is again opening this event to the public and hopes it will unite individuals in a common goal: to reduce the number of men who engage in sex with prostituted adolescents.
In addition to the event itself, attendees will be asked to participate in a mass “planking” in opposition to human trafficking, viewed by many as modern day slavery. Plankers will be asked to lie on their backs, side-by-side, in a moment of silence for the estimated 400-plus girls prostituted in Georgia each month.
Interested runners/walkers can access registration information online here. Registration includes a “Steps to Stop” T-shirt and access to after walk activities. Day-of registration will open at 7:30am.
