A public art movement against child trafficking.
Starting in Jackson, Mississippi.
There are more people in slavery today than at any point in human history. 27.8 million of them. One in four are children. It happens in every city, on every corridor — including the I-20 and I-55 routes that run through Jackson, Mississippi. It thrives because most people never have to look at it.
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.”
— Elie Wiesel
Today's World puts it on the wall. We connect businesses with mural artists to create public art that makes trafficking impossible to ignore.
A mural can't be scrolled past. It can't be blocked. It stands on a street corner every single day until the conversation changes.
The average American will walk past a trafficking victim and never know it. But they won't walk past a 40-foot mural and not think about it.
Our first mural is in development with artist Gavin Bird (@gavinbirdd). This is where it starts — one wall, one artist, one city. Follow the project as it comes to life.
Whether you have a wall, a paintbrush, or simply the will to help — there's a place for you.
Lend your exterior wall space and become a visible part of the fight against child trafficking. No cost — just courage.
Use your talent to create something that outlasts a gallery show. Get matched with walls ready for your vision.
Volunteer, advocate, or simply tell someone about us. Every action helps protect children.
