http://www.thegracenetwork.org/History
The Grace Network (TGN) began fighting human trafficking informally since January 2009. In the summer of 2011, TGN took its mission to the next level and became a formalized anti-trafficking initiative in Sacramento, CA. Since then, TGN has experienced tremendous growth in a period of four years – mobilizing thousands of people to combat human trafficking and being featured by local TV, radio and print media. Now, with the GraceCity™ app launch, TGN’s team travels throughout California to equip and empower communities to holistically address trafficking and exploitation.
