Hello Everyone! Laleo was a huge success - thanks to all who were able to attend. The pictures above are from the event. We were able to raise over $1400 for Innocence Atlanata and the money will all go toward a restoration house that directly helps the girls who are rescued from the sex industry. Keep an eye out for more benefits and events!

If you want any info please e-mail us at OneVoiceATL@gmail.com. Also, visit the Innocence Atlanta website to see how else you can help.

Laleo- greek: to speak; to intercede

Come and speak on behalf of those who have been silenced.

1 million children are forced to sell their bodies in the global sex trade. 300,000 children in America are victims of sexual exploitation. 17,500 new victims are trafficked across U.S. borders each year. Atlanta is believed to house more sexually exploited children than any other city in the United States. These children have remained invisible to the community for so long.
Atlanta must know that these children are not for sale.

Learn more and speak out against the injustice going on in our own backyard.
