Chuck sits down with Ambassador-At-Large John Richmond. Ambassador Richmond doesn’t have the normal job description that you’d think of when you hear that he works for the state department. You may think about foreign countries and trade deals but in this case the Ambassador-at-large deals with one specific piece of foriegn and domestic policy. Human trafficking. Specifically sex and labor trafficking. His work with trafficking didn’t start with his ambassadorship. He has done everything from being a federal prosecutor to working with the United Nations and even spending 3 years in India working with the International Justice Mission. The ambassador recently visited cincinnati and took the time to sit down and talk over his work, his faith, and what our city is doing to combat human trafficking.
