Georgia Festival of Trees is honored to present:The Silent Crisis Part 2: Understanding, Identifying, and Preventing Human Trafficking.

The second event in our powerful three-part series will shed light on the devastating impact of human trafficking, especially on children and vulnerable communities. Learn how you can play a role in protecting our children and building safer, more informed communities across Georgia.
Featured Speaker & Discussion Topics
Kelley Marshall, a Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) training specialist, is both an advocate and survivor of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Drawing from her own experience as a survivor, Kelley offers a rare and transformative perspective on what trafficking truly looks like and how you can help stop it. She will teach us:

How victims are targeted and controlled
Why many victims stay with their traffickers
How to recognize the subtle signs that someone may be in danger
Actionable ways to get involved in the fight against sexual exploitation

Through her survivor story and trauma-informed training, Kelley equips individuals, faith communities, law enforcement, and everyday citizens with the tools to identify and respond to trafficking with compassion and clarity. Her organization, EmpowerU, and long-running radio show have uplifted countless voices while spreading awareness and hope.

The 16th Annual Human Trafficking Advocacy Day

The Georgia Festival of Trees is proud to support Street Grace and their continued leadership in advancing legislation that has a direct and vital impact on protecting children and strengthening our communities. For more than a decade, Street Grace has been at the forefront of anti–human trafficking advocacy in Georgia, bringing together citizens, lawmakers, law enforcement, and survivors to create meaningful change.
On February 10th, we invite you to join Street Grace for their 16th Annual Anti-Human Trafficking Advocacy Day at the Georgia State Capitol. This powerful day of action reminds us that real change happens when individuals stand up, speak out, and advocate on behalf of the vulnerable. The legislative priorities being addressed have the potential to reshape Georgia’s anti-trafficking efforts—and your voice plays a critical role in that work.
The day will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. at Central Presbyterian Church, located directly across from the Georgia State Capitol. Participants will hear directly from lawmakers, law enforcement leaders, and survivors about policies that protect children and disrupt trafficking networks. Attendees will also learn practical, hands-on ways to engage with their state representatives and advocate for change.
By the end of the day, you won’t just be informed—you’ll be equipped and empowered to take action. Your presence matters, and together, through the tireless efforts of organizations like Street Grace, we can help build a future where children are safe from exploitation.
See you there!
