I’m Not Buying It

Join me and my friends from Tenth Avenue North as we partner with Traffick911 in the “I’m Not Buying It” campaign to raise awareness and decrease the demand for sex trafficking for one of the largest sporting events in the world: The Superbowl. Watch the video. The facts are real. Then log in and add your voice. We can not be silent. We must let our voice be heard. PEOPLE ARE NOT FOR SALE.

Think sex slavery isn’t happening in the United States? Think it doesn’t happen to children? Think it’s not happening in your town? I’m not buying it. And either should you.

    Wow… It’s so sad that Human trafficking happens. I can’t even begin to imagine what those women and children have to live with everyday. I will defiantly try and help out in any way I can but I’m only 14 and don’t really know what I could do to help….

    Thank you Natalie Grant for opening my eyes to this horrid reality, I find the work you do with the home foundation amazing and inspiring.

    My hearts breaks. That’s really all I can say. Human trafficking has been on my heart for a long time and I want to help raise awareness.

    I’ve heard my mom talk about human trafficking, I’ve seen Law and Order SVU episodes about it, the movie Taken was about sex trade. It is sad that this is a reality in America and around the world. People aren’t objects and weren’t meant to be seen as such. I’m not buying it, either. I support this cause!

    IT IS WRONG TO DO THAT TO ANYONE!! THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED!! In the Bible it talks about kidnapers are to be put to death for their actions.. kidnapping is not much different than human trafficking – TO HOLD SOMEONE AGAINST THEIR WILL!!
    THEY WILL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!! KEEP UP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOUR DOING & DO NOT STOP!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

    Only one worthy of purchasing He was, is and forever be my Savior and King Jesus Christ! Must end selling,trading,buying women and children once and for all. My soul cries out for those longing for this imprisonment to end. I have learned of this Hugh problem we have right here in america a few months ago. We must pray as believers in Christ,come in agreement as one. Began to bind the grip of the enemy over this attack over every women, man, boy, and girl. I break, loosen & set the captive free with liberty and justice for all at concern. I bind up the enemy on earth. Who now is bound in heaven! I loosen freedom, liberty, and justice over the captive who are free indeed on earth now is loosen in heaven to be saved, born again and bought by the blood of the Lamb of Jesus Christ. I call forth the hand of God to bound the enemy ans loosen the captive now in Jesus name- amen!

    Well angelgirl there are a few things us teens or anyone can do and that is to collect money I know of at least one organization that for a measly $25 they can go in and save one child/mother from the sex trade and they ask them if they want to be saved and if they would like to come with them and they take them and teach them all about god and once they are ready to either go out and live On their own or go to a family them they have a choice.That is just one way or you could make like bracelets or make something and sell it and say whatever money I make is going to go to helping people in the sex trade. The organization that I am talkig about is called destiny rescue thy have a facebookpage or u can look them up on their website at http://www.destinyrescue.org or their number is1-574-377-3220. Thanks for reading. Have. Good day :)

    Having visited in prison, and know of a young man, here in the UK, who was badly sexually abused, as a small boy. The effects are, he has served time, and will again, through his hurt, pain and loathing of sexual predators!
    Time and again in our prisons, we see the out working of infant sexual abuse, I support you movement, from here in England.
    We as Christians, have a voice, let us us it, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

  • Kalyn

    Anyone who doesn’t think that this happens in the United States is just ignorant! It’s time that we as Christians step up for those who can not. It’s time to make a change!

    I firmly stand with you against this evil. I will long on and join this fight and encourage all of my friends on FB and my brothers and sisters in my local church to join in. I was not aware that the Superbowl was a spring board for more traffic of this crime. Praise the Lord for your zeal. Christ will bring about His justice. As the Word says, “Love mercy, and do justly and walk humbly with our God.”

    Sincerely in Christ,

    P.S. Our city bus line (Las Vegas, NV) which I have been riding recently has posters on the inside warning of teenage girls sold into prostitution.

    First off, thank you to Tenth Avenue North and Natalie Grant for bringing this horrific issue to the surface. As painful as it is to acknowledge, it is a reality that needs to be talked about. This needs to be stopped and you are giving us the opportunity to do something about it. I’M NOT BUYING IT! May God bless this ad and soften the hearts and minds to those who will see it SuperBowl Sunday!

    Hey Natalie,
    Love following you on FB and so glad to hear you are enjoying your new little bundle of joy. I sure love watching Courtney’s little girl Emergy grow and change. They are such little works of art….truly God’s masterpiece!

    I was just reading about an organization focused on saving one woman at a time from sex traficking and was wondering if you know anything about it. It’s call Shared Hope International and it’s located in Vancouver, WA.

    Blessings!
