On January 11 a Christian metal band is hosting an event called 'Rock Against Traffick,' bringing awareness to modern-day trafficking.
Tommy Green, frontman of the band HolyName, is hosting the event in Pomona, CA. The hope is to unite the metal community in a fight against human trafficking.
The event is a live-streamed concert of HolyName during their sold-out show with other acts including Eric Gregson (xDeathstarx), Jason Moody (No Innocent Victim), Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter), Brook Reeves (Impending Doom), Michael Felker (Convictions), and Trevor Tyson (Heal The Hurt).
"Rock Against Traffic is significant because it combines my own origins in a unique and passionate culture of people with a mission that is very near to mine and Krissi's hearts," says Green, who is also the founder of Run Against Traffic. "We are using the power of our community in the hardcore and metal scene to raise awareness, funds, and shine a light on the incredible need for survivors of human trafficking to receive quality aftercare."
All proceeds will benefit the Run Against Traffic Foundation, which funds quality aftercare for survivors of human trafficking. Since the performance is live-streamed, anyone living anywhere can watch the performance. Details can be found here.
