A MOVEMENT TO BRING AWARENESS AND EDUCATION OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING WITH INITIATIVES LEADING UP TO AND AFTER SUPER BOWL 52 - WHY Because this happens in our nation every hour, 7 days a week - that's 365 days a year.

The 42:7 PROJECT exists to draw a circle around the cause of the human trafficking of children. The 42:7 PROJECT is also a coalition of those PREVENTING - with education and awareness; EQUIPPING - with training and tools; INTERVENING - for rescue, legislation and law enforcement; and RESTORING - with housing and rehabilitation. All who bring positive answers to stop human trafficking. This will include the presence of civic, corporate, non-profit, and faith-based entities, coming together to participate. Highlighted will be the unique mix of skills and resources that each bring to shed light, answers, and hope.

We are #MinnesotaBold. The 42:7 PROJECT will also highlight the bipartisan initiatives and collaborative efforts that have resulted in the “Minnesota model,” which has paved the way nationally for comprehensive strategies to combat human trafficking.
