Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is former Olympian and award-winning documentary filmmaker Mary Mazzio to talk about her latest film, "Bad River."    "Bad River" chronicles the Wisconsin-based Bad River Band, which is a group within a tribe of native Americans, and their ongoing fight for sovereignty, which unfolds in a groundbreaking way through a series of shocking revelations, devastating losses, and a powerful legacy of defiance and resilience. This inspiring project brings us through the epic sweep of history into the present, with a David and Goliath battle over a 70-year-old pipeline on the brink of rupture into Lake Superior, the largest freshwater resource in America.  "Bad River" is currently enjoying a successful limited theatrical run and is available for streaming for Xfinity customers and is also available via Vimeo. Mary Mazzio's credits include A Hero for Daisy, I Am Jane Doe, A Most Beautiful Thing, Ten9Eight, and Underwater Dreams. Her work “explores the concept of overcoming obstacles, whether it is a fight for social change… or issues of poverty and lack of opportunity...and sheds light on ordinary people doing extraordinary things – defying expectations and challenging assumptions of who and what they can achieve. Mazzio's powerful new documentary Bad River is no exception.

This week, Carmen Balber talks with award-winning filmmaker Mary Mazzio, whose film I Am Jane Doe about online child sex trafficking helped catalyze reform of the law - Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act - giving blanket immunity to Internet companies for facilitating and profiting from illegal activity online. They discuss what to expect from the new Congress and Biden Administration on reform of the law.

You might think we're safe from human trafficking out here on the East End, but you'd be wrong. This week join Bridget and Alec and their guests, Pamela Greinke and Nicky Banks, to talk about the very real trafficking trade on Long Island. Alec is best known for his work on "Toy Story," but he also produced the film "I Am Jane Doe," about the efforts to halt underage sex trafficking in the U.S., and also co-wrote and co-directed an animated short, "I Am Little Red," to help schoolchildren identify possible dangerous encounters.

In part 1 of this emotionally charged episode, the ladies discuss the controversial FOSTA and SESTA bills that recently made it through the senate, what this means for victims of sex trafficking, and sex workers. They also discuss the documentary I Am Jane Doe, the reason this bill was started. Femme Fatale of the week: Amy Taylor (featured in part 2) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tsegp/support

In this second episode, the Red X Podcast reviews how Congress is making it illegal for internet providers to advertise sex for children online. Also Nacole, the mother of a survivor of sex trafficking and advocate who is featured in the I Am Jane Doe documentary, is interviewed about her fight in bringing down Backpage.com. The Red X Podcast is designed to take the immense issue of human trafficking and help break it into smaller pieces so that the listener is empowered to take action at a local level.   Nicole, the host of the Red X Podcast, introduces friend and fellow advocate, Brooke Burris. Brooke is an attorney who represents the Lynch Foundation for Children, which supports efforts to prevent children becoming trafficking victims. Brooke is a former Miss South Carolina and has worked with private investigators to rescue runaway youth through Saved in America.     Nicole talks about juggling four children with advocacy work and producer of the Red X Podcast and Mayor Lance Olive shares how he got to use the sidewalk sucker to repair Apex’s sidewalks.   Both Nicole and Lance are planning on attending the Peak City Film Festival in which the family film Unbridled was featured. Unbridled was filmed in Apex and presents the story of a young girl who becomes a trafficking victim and finds restoration through her therapy through training an abused horse. The story is based on the work of equine therapy center, Corral which pairs girls who have experienced trauma with abused horses.     Nicole Bernard reports on Congress’s review of the 1996 Communications Decency Act (CDA), which has not been amended since its conception. The CDA was originally enacted when the internet was in its infancy and was meant to protect internet sites from being held liable for content advertised by a third party. As an example, ebay cannot be sued for a person selling a fake baseball card. Although the Act is intended to promote internet economy, at the time that it was written, sex trafficking did not even have a legal definition in the United States. The Act was never intended to allow for internet hosting sites such as craigslist or backpage.com to be allowed to advertise the sell of children for sex. Unfortunately, Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act has supported just that and in spite of valiant efforts and lawsuits to bring it down, backpage.com remains immutable so long as Section 230 is not amended. In 2010, the annual revenue of backpage.com grossed $29 million. By 2014, it burgeoned to $134 million. One estimate found that 80% of sex crimes are advertised on backpage.com. And although major tech companies initially stood with Backpage against advocates who demanded it be taken down, companies like Google and Facebook have now reversed their stance and support the amendment of Section 230 by enacting the Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act (SESTA). In North Carolina, both senators have backed SESTA. Find your legislator and ask them to support SESTA.   The Red X Podcast welcomed guest, Nacole, the mother from the I Am Jane Doe documentary. Nacole’s daughter, J. S., was trafficked when she was 15 through Backpage.com and now Nacole has been an advocate for SESTA and preventing child sex trafficking.   Nacole says that J.S. was dealing with some transitions in HS when her older brother left for an Ivey League college in New York. J. S. was active in soccer, wrestled, and was an all star violinist. She was also an honor student. One day she wrote a letter to her family saying she was leaving home. J. S. found herself 30 miles away from her home in a teen homeless shelter. A 22 year old woman who was working for a pimp recruited her to be a part of the sex trade. J.S. then found herself in the hands of a 32 year old trafficker. She was raped and sold on the streets of Seattle After ten days she was able to escape and returned home. Was able to escape. Her parents took her to the hospital but were not given resources to help explain the trauma she had experienced.   At home, J.S. became withdrawn and angry. She left school and became homeschooled. Everything that she took excitement in was gone. Nacole said they later realized that her trafficker had given J. S. a phone and she was still in contact with him. Although her family had surrounded her with love and prayer, they underestimated how traumatized she was and without proper treatment, J.S. returned to her trafficking situation. She didn’t even consider herself a victim until five years after being trafficked. J.S. was sold on Backpage.com. Nacole says you can actually purchase a pizza to be delivered as fast as you can order a child to be delivered to your door for sex, regardless of whether or not you are in the city or the country. The youngest victim advertised on the website was nine. Nacole says she was one of the lucky families. Homicide is the number one leading causes of deaths of people who are trafficked. families is one of the fortunate families. Nacole insists that the way to end trafficking is to start educating people about how to treat each other. Do we want to be a society that allows the sale of children for sex? All of us must recognize that if we have a minor in our home, we also have a potential trafficking victim. Get started by asking your local government what they are doing to combat and prevent trafficking. You can also look up your state’s report card given by Shared Hope International for its effectiveness in combatting sex trafficking of minors. You can also show the film I Am Little Red to your 10-14 year old to help educate them about the dangers of sex trafficking.

Welcome to the Red X Podcast’s first episode, “Sharks with Badges”! Lance Olive introduces the very first episode and raises the curtains on plans for this anti-human trafficking podcast. The goal is to empower you, the listener to become knowledgeable about the issue of trafficking and to help you connect with your local municipality as well as local organizations to give prevent victimization and to give survivors second chances. New episodes will be published every couple of weeks and you can give feedback here, on our website. Lance introduces, Nicole Bernard, the director of Second Life North Carolina who will be hosting. Nicole is the mother of four. She initially learned about human trafficking on the international scale but discovered that trafficking was happening in her own community about five years ago. Nicole served Transforming Hope Ministries, which has now merged with Second Life North Carolina. Lance, the Mayor of Apex, NC and host of the Apex Roundup Podcast, reminds the listener that the topic of human trafficking can be massive and that attending conferences or seminars can leave us overwhelmed and wondering what can be done. This podcast is designed to help the listener to be able to approach the topic of trafficking in “bite sizes” so that you can easily introduce the issue to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers easily and encourage action at a local level. Lance has known about human trafficking for years but for him personally, his knowledge crossed the threshold, pushing him to action in 2017. Lance’s sister had first brought trafficking to his attention in sharing her stories of trafficking in Africa, where she was involved in ministry. He also heard Ellen Blair from Partners Against Trafficking Humans in North Carolina present at a Rotary Club meeting. Lance was shocked to learn that a pimp and a victim can be out in public together and the majority of people would not be able to identify the dynamic of their relationship. So many of us could see it right in front of us but not be able to respond to it for lack of recognition. And then, Lance’s daughter-in-law’s mother asked him if he would meet another Apex citizen, Whitney Ludlow, who was active in the fight against human trafficking. That’s also where he met Nicole and what sprang from that initial meeting was a discussion with the chief of police and local victim advocate to create a proclamation for a week-long awareness campaign. Each week, the hosts will share a random fact about themselves. Lance admits that he likes to take walks downtown in Apex around midnight. He says it’s almost like a different town at that hour, picturesque like a postcard. Also, each episode will begin with an icebreaker. This week, Lance asks Nicole questions about the largest grossing film of all time, Frozen. Did you know that the voice of the Duke of Weselton is the same voice of the Zooptopia character, also named the Duke of Weselton. The voices of the two characters don’t sound anything alike even though they are both from actor, Alan Tutyc who some might recognize from the Firefly Series. Some other interesting Frozen facts for the listener—did you know that Frozen’s Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna includes some “easter eggs”? There’s a Mickey Mouse hiding on the shelf and a Monster’s Inc figurine on the counter. Nicole reports on a recent nationwide sting called Operation Crosscountry that was led by the FBI and recovered 82 juveniles and 120 perpetrators. The average age for the victims was 15 and included a three-month old and her 5 year old sister who were sold for $600 to an FBI agent by a family friend in Colorado. Three of the victims were from North Carolina. Colorado DA, George Bachler wanted to remind traffickers that his office is ready for them. He throws down the gauntlet and says, “To those out there who are watching this who might avail themselves at the opportunity to exploit children or to engage in even the adult sex trade, this is a bit of a warning. … The people that you can’t see behind those cameras, they are fins. They are fins in the water and they represent sharks who are there all the time.” “And my advice to you is to stay out of those waters where the kids are, to stay out of those waters where exploited adults are for sex, because they are out there and they will get you. And when they get you, my office will handle the rest.”” Just a few months ago, the National Johns Suppression Initiative helped conduct a month-long series of stings. 1,020 buyers were identified, of those 15 were traffickers. There’s a lot to unpack from this operation. How did these victims become victims and why do they not always willingly leave? Who is luring these children and adults into the sex trade and who is buying? Lance loves that the undercover cameras are like shark fins and that the real teeth behind the operation is just below surface. But likewise, the recovered victims and perpetrators are much like an iceberg—we know there’s a lot more to uncover and that they represent multiple times the amount that can be seen. There are still a lot of decisions to be made for the podcast. Nicole and Lance decide to do the Red X Podcast on a bi-weekly schedule and will interview key players in the anti-trafficking fight in future episodes. Lance especially wants to interview a former trafficker who has paid his dues and has changed his ways. How does someone get to the point that they are willing to sell another human being for profit? But also, Nicole and Lance hope to have a guest who will be able to answer the questions of how someone gets coerced into trafficking, why they do not get out and if they do, what would they go back into the industry? The answers to those complex questions will likewise be complicated. The hosts also hope to include investigators and detectives who are involved in the sting operations as well as other citizens who are likely to interface with victims such as tattoo parlor artists who often “brand” victims, medical professionals, and school counselors. The Red X podcast will also invite hosts who are able to speak to new anti-human trafficking legislation and trafficking prevalence and statistics. Lance Olive will serve to engineer, publish, post the podcast each week, Nicole will provide the content, and schedule new interesting guests to interview. These show notes will be available after each episode. And each episode will end with a review of what the hosts learned to help the listener compare what he or she might have learned. Nicole learned that the podcast will be published bi-weekly and Lance learned that there are shark fins in the water surrounding this crim. Bad guys might be alluding the police right now, but it’s a matter of time. Together, citizens can work together to make it difficult for this crime to exist in the community where they are.

Join Cheri Roberts WEDS. July 12 @ 5pPST/8pEST LIVE with "I am Jane Doe" documentary filmmaker, Mary Mazzio, attorney, Erik Bauer, and cybercrime computer forensics expert, Frederick Lane, to discuss Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA), an internet freedom law that provides a safe haven for website publishers to advertise underage children for sex. Not-for-profit special interest groups funded by companies including Google have supported Backpage.com's legal battles and provided expert briefs in support of the site. Why does Congress not act? “These are children who are being raped, yet the whole debate around Backpage has become about the rights of internet companies to not get sued?” says Kubiiki, a mother featured in the film now available on Netflix. Children are being bought, sold and raped every day, right here in America. This is real and it could be your child next. Do not miss this show.
