Since Street Grace was founded in 2008, we’ve been chasing one ambitious vision: ending the sexual exploitation of children . Thanks to the help of our generous partners and supporters, we’re making serious progress.
Using an evidenced-based approach and leveraging the latest innovations and technology, we're pioneering solutions that are smart, scalable, and effective.
Individuals impacted through speaking, tabling, and training events
Pieces of legislation have been affected to harshen the punishments of traffickers and buyers while supporting survivors
Moving the needle on this issue requires proactive solutions. Through preventative trainings and other demand reduction strategies, we’re addressing the problem at its source.
Our team of researchers and policy experts are national leaders in this field. Plus, our Survivor Advisory Council ensures our efforts are informed and guided by their lived experiences and insights.
In collaboration with BBDO, Microsoft volunteers, and law enforcement agencies, we’re developing a tool that leverages AI technology to deter and catch sexual predators online.

50,000+ attempts to purchase illegal sex disrupted. And we’re just getting started. Street Grace's Transaction Intercept technology has reached a major milestone! That’s more than 50,000 times that someone attempting to purchase illegal sex has connected with our technology through over a million text exchanges, instead of a potential victim of exploitation. With each interception, we have an opportunity to gather information that can help law enforcement identify buyers and hold them accountable. At Street Grace, we know that when you reduce demand, you reduce supply. By stopping these transactions before they happen, we are working towards a future where the internet is no longer a safe place for those seeking to harm children.

Their generous support helps advance Street Grace’s mission to end the sexual exploitation of children through Prevention, Protection, Pursuit, and Policy. Each of these efforts plays a vital role, and together, they create meaningful, lasting change.

No child should fall through the cracks. The GRACIE Act, legislation that has passed in multiple states, works to hold child welfare services accountable by requiring them to record their interviews with children. This helps ensure that when a child shares their story, their voice is heard, and justice can be pursued. Learn more about the GRACIE Act and how you can help at streetgrace.org/gracie-act.

Policy Win! 🎉 Last week, a Georgia court removed a legal block that had prevented new online safety protections for children from taking effect. Under the law, social media platforms must verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent before entering into contracts with children under 16. With so much exploitation beginning online, stronger protections for children in digital spaces matter. Protecting children takes all of us. Together, we can help build a safer online world where children's safety comes first. Use your voice. Learn more about our policy work and how to get involved at streetgrace.org/policy.

TWO WEEKS TO GO! 🎉 We're counting down to An Evening with Ernie Johnson, featuring special guest Jeff Foxworthy! On November 5, we'll come together for more than an unforgettable evening. We'll unite around a shared mission: protecting children and creating lasting change in the fight against child sexual exploitation. There's still time to be part of it! 🎟️ Reserve your seat today!

In today's world, we know that the internet is where buyers often go to find children to exploit. For too long, the web has provided these buyers with a cloak of anonymity. Transaction Intercept is changing that. This game-changing technology works to identify individuals seeking to exploit children, remove the cloak of anonymity, and disrupt potential transactions.

In recent months, Street Grace has continued bringing Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) trainings and community outreach events to communities across Texas and Georgia. We believe some of the most important stories are the stories that didn’t happen. Through education, we can equip children and adults with the knowledge to recognize warning signs, seek help, and prevent exploitation before it happens. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue this critical work. Thanks to supporters like you, we can reach more communities, equip more families, and help protect more children. Want to bring this training to your church, school, or organization? Contact us at info@streetgrace.org. Learn more about how you can become part of the mission at streetgrace.org.

Every child deserves to be heard. Every child's story deserves to be remembered. Too often, children in the foster care system are failed by the very systems meant to protect them. When social workers interview children, those conversations aren't always recorded. Instead, important details may be lost in handwritten notes. These missing details could help protect a child, provide better care, or even hold an abuser accountable. The GRACIE Act aims to change that by making sure children's stories are properly documented and their voices are heard. Pass the GRACIE Act. Learn more about the GRACIE Act and how you can contribute at streetgrace.org/gracie-act. #GRACIEAct #ProtectChildren #ChildAdvocacy #StreetGrace

On Anti-Slavery Day, we recognize that while slavery has taken new forms today, millions of people around the world continue to experience exploitation, including those in our own communities. Ending modern slavery is not the responsibility of any one person or organization. It takes all of us to work toward a future where all children are free and protected. Learn how you can be part of the mission and help create a future of freedom at streetgrace.org.

A major victory in the effort to end child sex trafficking! The Tennessee Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a man who attempted to pay for sex with someone he believed was a 16-year-old girl, but was actually an undercover officer. The court confirmed that trafficking laws still apply, even when no actual child is involved. At Street Grace, we believe ending exploitation starts with addressing the source of the issue: The demand. We applaud this decision and hope this encourages more frequent use of this tactic to reduce the consumer demand. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more.

Your generosity helps make this work possible, ensuring that survivors have access to critical support to pursue safety, stability, and independence. Across Georgia and Tennessee, Street Grace care coordinators work directly with victims and survivors of human trafficking, providing individualized care, resources, and support as they rebuild their lives. In 2026 alone, 306 individuals have received care through our services. 🔗 Visit streetgrace.org to learn how you can make this freedom possible.

📢 Attorney General Chris Carr's team has secured a major victory for child online safety! This is an important step forward in protecting children our children from online harms. We look forward to sharing more about this significant development soon. Stay tuned for more information. 🔗 Read more at our Link in Bio.

Online exploitation looks different across the world, but these events share a common reality: Criminals are utilizing technology at a massive scale to coerce and traffick those most vulnerable among us. As these threats evolve, our response must evolve with them. It is critical that we do not treat these like isolated incidents. We must strengthen operations, hold criminals accountable, and educate children and families to recognize the signs and prevent exploitation. Education is prevention. Awareness is a critical first step toward action. 🔗 Read more in the Department of State’s 2026 TIP Report at the Link in our Bio. Visit streetgrace.org/resources to learn how to spot the signs, and stop exploitation before it starts.

Last year, Bekah, a member of Street Grace’s National Survivor Council, stood in this room and shared words that stayed with us: “The soil remembers, but the bloom rewrites the story. I don’t owe my pain the glory. My power is the testimony.” Her words are a reminder of why this night matters. When we gather, we help fuel work that continues long after the evening ends—supporting young people, elevating survivor voices, equipping communities, and working to disrupt the demand that drives commercial sexual exploitation. On November 5, we gather again. Come for the laughter, the conversation, and the people. Be part of something bigger. 📍 Gas South District 📅 November 5 – Registration starts at 5:15 PM 👟 Tickets + tables available now 🔗 in bio #StreetGrace #AnEveningWithErnieJohnson #JeffFoxworthy #ProtectingChildrenTogether

Managing your child’s digital media use can feel overwhelming. But keeping them safe online doesn’t have to be a full-time job. Our prevention guides offer practical ways to navigate digital media, start important conversations, and help protect your child from online exploitation. Because the most powerful time to stop trafficking is before it ever happens. Explore our resources at streetgrace.org/prevention.

This past week, we received critical data on how countries globally are responding to and participating in the fight against human trafficking worldwide. The U.S. Department of State’s annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report examines how governments around the world are responding to human trafficking- and where gaps remain. Historically, this report has played a great role in strengthening international collaboration, and promoting greater accountability in efforts to combat human trafficking worldwide. Education and awareness are essential to combatting this issue. 🔗 You can equip yourself today. Read this year’s report at the link in our bio!

At Street Grace, we believe every child deserves to grow up in an environment where they feel safe, valued, and protected.

Seventeen people were arrested this week during a human trafficking operation in Alabama. This list includes Alabama State Representative Brett Easterbrook, who is facing charges of attempted human trafficking. This case is a concerning reminder of the gaps in oversight that can exist when the very people entrusted with passing laws to protect our children are also part of the demand that fuels trafficking. We are grateful for the law enforcement officers who acted to protect potential victims and hold alleged buyers accountable. At Street Grace, we continue to equip and partner with law enforcement across the country to provide the tools, training, and resources needed to prevent exploitation, disrupt demand, and pursue justice. 🔗 Link in bio to read more.

Transaction Intercept identifies and interrupts potential exploitation before a child is harmed. As a tool for law enforcement across the country, it puts technology in the hands of those working to protect children. But technology alone cannot end exploitation. It takes people willing to step in, support solutions, and help bring exploitation out of the shadows. Your support helps make tools like this possible, and allows the work to protect children to continue. Learn more about Transaction Intercept and how you can be part of the solution at streetgrace.org/pursuit.

Human trafficking is not a partisan issue. No matter who is in office, we must ensure our leaders understand what trafficking looks like today and support policies that effectively protect our children, and address exploitation. Learn more about the policies we support at streetgrace.org/policy, and use your voice to keep this critical issue on the table. Educate yourself. Use your voice. Contact your representative today.

After experiencing the abuse and trauma of trafficking, the road to recovery is not an easy one. But a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach starts with a simple belief: every survivor has inherent strengths and resilience. With access to the right care, resources, and support, survivors can heal, rebuild their lives, reclaim their futures, and thrive. Recovery is possible. Safety is possible. Healing is possible. With your help, we can continue providing the support and resources survivors need on their journey toward healing and stability. Learn more at streetgrace.org/protection.

This is what the power of we looks like. Last year, hundreds of people filled the room with a shared commitment to protect children from commercial sexual exploitation.

In the month of September, we had the amazing opportunity to reach schools, churches, and organizations across state lines with our prevention trainings. We know that we cannot simply step in once exploitation and human trafficking has occurred- we must stop it from occurring in the first place. This means training parents, youth, and our communities as a whole on how to recognize the signs. Prevention saves lives. Want to bring this training to your community? Contact us today at info@streetgrace.org

At Street Grace, our mission is clear: eradicate the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). There is no simple solution to this complex issue. That’s why we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to preventing and disrupting exploitation in communities across the country. Our four pillars—Prevention, Protection, Policy, and Pursuit—work together to address exploitation from every angle: equipping communities, protecting children, advancing policy, and disrupting demand. This work is possible because of your support. Together, we can help create a future where every child has the opportunity to experience a safe, healthy childhood free from exploitation.

As AI and technology move faster than ever, how do we make sure our children aren’t left behind—or put at risk? The House passed the KIDS Act. But we’re saying: not so fast. The House version leaves out a critical protection: KOSA’s duty of care, which would require platforms to take meaningful steps to prevent and mitigate specific harms to children. Meanwhile, the Senate has advanced KOSA—a stronger approach that puts greater responsibility on tech platforms to protect kids by design. Our children deserve more than a half-measure. Pass KOSA. 📢 Learn more at streetgrace.org/policy.

Congress is back in session. Now, they need to finish the job. The House passed the KIDS Act—but it falls short. It leaves out critical protections that would hold tech companies accountable for keeping kids safe online. The Senate’s KOSA—the Kids Online Safety Act—is stronger. It puts real responsibility on platforms to protect children from online harms. Our kids deserve real protection—not watered-down legislation. 📢 Congress has a responsibility to act. Tell your representatives: protect kids online. Pass legislation that matters. Learn more at streetgrace.org/policy - and stay tuned for more!

Today, we at Street Grace join those around the world to pray for victims and survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking. Take a pause and join us today to pray for a future of hope, healing, and freedom. #OpenOurEyes #EndHumanTrafficking #HumanTraffickingAwareness

Prevention starts with awareness, trust, and adults who are ready to listen. When a young person recognizes that something isn’t right, and knows who to tell, the story can change before harm begins.

THE STANDARD SHOULD BE CLEAR. The FBI has changed its hiring standards so that past involvement in purchasing sex and bestiality is no longer an automatic disqualifier for employment. When it comes to combating commercial sexual exploitation, the standards we set matter. At Street Grace, we are deeply concerned by this policy change and call on the FBI to reconsider its removal of these offenses from its automatic disqualifications. We need a system that works relentlessly to prevent exploitation—not one that makes room for the behaviors that fuel demand. 🔗 Read more at the article linked in our bio.

STOP CSAM. This powerful piece of legislation, once passed, would take a critical step toward strengthening protections for children online. Parents cannot be expected to keep up with—or self-regulate—complex and harmful algorithms designed by Big Tech.

CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER. Technology is evolving. Our laws must evolve with it. At Street Grace, we are appalled by this ruling. It is critical that our legal system close these gaps and strengthen the protections that every child deserves.

The FBI has reportedly lowered its hiring standards to allow individuals with a history of commercial sex buying to be hired. The FBI had deemed this criminal behavior disqualifying because they found that it “undermines the Department's efforts to eradicate the scourge of human trafficking.” At Street Grace, we believe that those standards matter. We absolutely cannot lower federal standards in a way that creates room for more victims—and more stories that should never happen. Read our full article at the Link in our Bio.

🚨POLICY WIN FOR CHILD SAFETY Meta has agreed to a $17 billion settlement with states across the country, following findings that Facebook and Instagram were failing to protect minors from known harms. This is a major step toward an internet where child safety is built into the system. Now we need lawmakers to take the next step. In the meantime, you can help equip your child with the tools they need to stay safe, and succeed. Learn more about our FREE Youth Leadership Academy at streetgrace.org/yla.

A major court ruling has found Meta liable for 75,000 violations involving child safety. This ruling sends a clear message: Big Tech must be held accountable for the ways its platforms can put children at risk. But a ruling only matters if we follow through. Now, we need our lawmakers to act—to uphold accountability, strengthen protections, and ensure the safety of children is never treated as an afterthought. Our children deserve better. And it’s time we demand it. 📢 Share this post. Stay informed. And most importantly, use your voice to call on your legislators to hold Big Tech accountable.

The online world is changing faster than child safety standards can keep up. New research reveals just how vulnerable children can be online: 1 in 2 minors have accessed and used an app, website, or platform before they were old enough to do so. 1 in 5 minors reported having an online sexual interaction with someone they believed to be an adult – roughly the same believed it was with another minor.

Trafficking doesn’t always look the way you expect. Today, exploitation can begin online—often in ways that are difficult to recognize. The more we know, the better equipped we are to recognize warning signs, start important conversations, and protect children before harm occurs.

The time to act is now. Call your U.S. Senator or Representative and urge them to SUPPORT the STOP CSAM Act. This legislation would strengthen protections for children and survivors and help ensure victims have a pathway to justice in court. Help protect children. Help survivors pursue justice. Take action today. #STOPCSAM #ProtectChildren #EndExploitation

Target the demand that drives exploitation. When law enforcement disrupts the buyer, they disrupt the market—and help prevent exploitation before another child is harmed. For 14 years, law enforcement at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has used this demand-focused approach to create real change. JOIN US in countering human trafficking at its source. #DemandAnEnd

Our Direct Services team members were honored to participate in the 6th Annual Red Sand Project in Tennessee, joining community members in raising awareness and taking a stand against human trafficking. Through powerful, interactive art installations, the Red Sand Project uses red sand to fill the cracks in sidewalks– representing those who often fall through the cracks and become vulnerable to exploitation. We are grateful for our team’s dedication to walking alongside survivors as they pursue safety, healing, and hope. We are thankful to the Counter Trafficking Alliance of Chattanooga and Vision Hospitality for hosting this impactful event. Together, we can bring communities together, spark meaningful conversations, and inspire action to protect the most vulnerable. #redsandproject #humantraffickingawareness
