*Content Warning* This episode deals with the human trafficking industry, please use discretion when listening. Amanda was just a teenager when she left home to join a "Mag Crew", traveling across the country selling magazines door to door. Maybe you've encountered a Mag Crew at your own doorstep, peddling overpriced magazine subscriptions with sketchy looking "official" documents, claiming to be earning points for a savings bond or vacation. It seems harmless, but as Amanda tells us, it's anything but.

*Disclaimer: This episode is not intended for little ears*   Help End Human Trafficking with Nita Belles   Isaiah 61:3 NIV "and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,  a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."   Questions We Discuss: What is human trafficking and how does it work? Is there a certain target age or demographic that makes people more vulnerable to being trafficked? When we are prompted by love, what can the church and community and families and individuals do?   Nita Belles is the Founder and President of IN OUR BACKYARD, a national anti-trafficking nonprofit. Her book, In Our Backyard, Human Trafficking in America and What We Can Do To Stop It, is a best-seller and known as the primer on human trafficking in the U.S.   Nita has been a leader in anti-trafficking work surrounding Super Bowls since 2010.  She founded Freedom Stickers which are in all 50 States, and Convenience Stores Against Trafficking, which partners with over 20,000 convenience stores nationwide. Nita collaborates with top law enforcement, government officials, legislators, the medical community, social service providers, faith communities, and survivors as the key to creating comprehensive, lasting change. Her work has been featured on CNN, Fox Files, Focus on the Family, USA Today, BBC and others.                                                         Nita is known for her compassionate heart, as a friend to survivors, a team player and for finding solutions when there is seemingly no solution. She believes laughter is a necessary component in this work yet is driven to compassionately annihilate human trafficking and change the culture which allows this atrocity to flourish. Nita is a force in the movement who specializes in linking arms with other organizations in a collaborative effort to find lasting solutions.   Connect with Nita Belles' Non-Profit, In Our Backyard: Website, Twitter, Instagram @inourbackyard, or through Facebook   At The Savvy Sauce, we will only recommend resources we believe in!

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

I sit down with Cheryl Csiky to discuss human trafficking and how she works with the organization In Our Backyard to fight against what is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world and continues to grow at an alarming rate. Between 244,000 and 325,000 American youth are considered at risk for sexual exploitation, and an estimated 199,000 incidents of sexual exploitation of minors occur each year in the United States. About 80 percent of all trafficked individuals are female, about 50 percent are children. Each year an estimated $150 billion is generated by victims of human trafficking, $99 billion in sex trafficking and $51 billion in other forms of trafficking. Nationally 450,000 children run away from home each year. 1 out of every 3 teens on the street will be lured toward sex trafficking within 48 hours of leaving home.Statistically, this means at least 150,000 children lured towards sex trafficking each year. Average age of entry into sex trafficking is 12-14 for girls, and 11-13 for boys. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/manchesterspodcast/support

Stu Levitan welcomes Ursula Lawrence, television comedy writer, union organizer, recreator of the French Republican Wall Calendar, and so truly a daughter of Madison the great radical newspaper Take Over ran a contest back in the day to help her parents choose a name. Of course, they picked one on their own. She attended Communist summer camp, was a member of Madison West High School Class of 1996, around the time she was also spending time right here at WORT, working on the In Our BackYard news program. She graduated from Oberlin College, got a fellowship to pursue but did not complete a doctorate in Sociology at the University of Michigan, spent a decade in Brooklyn writing and working for the Directors Guild and Writers Guild before moving to Los Angeles for four years. But all that sunshine got too much and she came back home where we are now having the Madison BookBeat Zoom call covering the shortest distance ever, as there are only two houses between us here on the west side of Madison. It is a pleasure to welcome to Madison BookBeat my friend and neighbor, Ursula Lawrence.

In our first episode, Al and Frank speak with Kent Couch. Dubbed "the convenience-store innovator of Bend, Oregon" by a 2016 article from The Atlantic, Kent Couch's Stop and Go Mini Mart is famous for offering dozens of beers, kombucha, and other beverages on tap. His beer cave resembles an actual cave, the restrooms are upscale, and his uniformed attendants greet customers by name. Couch is also a founder of the Growler Guys franchise. Currently, Growler Guys operates in five states. Couch also serves on the board of In Our Backyard—an organization dedicated to eradicating human trafficking.  A cluster balloon pioneer, Couch made international news beginning in 2007 for his attempts to fly a deck chair attached to hundreds of balloons. His final flight was in 2012.

Kathryn interview Nita Belles, author of “In Our Backyard: Human Trafficking in America and What We Can Do to Stop It”. Freedom Stickers, with the toll-free number and text of the National Human Trafficking Hotline, are placed in public restroom stalls providing victims a pathway to freedom at a moment when the traffickers control is at its weakest. Nita Belles is featured on USA Today, CNN and FOX. Kathryn also interviews author Saida Desilets PhD. Harvey Weinstein and Louis CK did not respect it. And women who are now coming forward about their sexual abuse at the hands of these men are only now claiming it. It's their sexual sovereignty - the right to control their own sexual and physical fate - not subject to the demands, control or perversion of others. Dr. Desilets, a victim of a violent rape that nearly cost her life, put her on the path of researching ways women could use their minds, bodies and spirits to create richer lives through their sensual selves.
