Once you dive down this rabbit hole, it’s hard to turn it off; you can’t un-know it at all. And so I’ve tried and will continue to try to give a voice to this issue, lend whatever I can to help make a difference and to mobilize people to stand together to put an end to this because to me, the biggest problem of it is that most people don’t even know it occurs.

Regard Magazine partnered up with the “Coin Up App” recently to hold the “Regard Cares” launch of the Fall Issue of the magazine. Riverdale’s Marisol Nichols graces the cover of the issue. The event was to spread awareness on her charity foundation SlaveryFreeWorld.org.

The CW’s “Riverdale’s” Hermione Lodge (Veronica Lodge’s mother) aka Marisol Nichols used Regards Magazine’s Fall Issue launch as a spotlight for her Foundation for a Slavery Free World, along with direct to charity app, COIN UP.

Once I knew what was going on in it and to little girls, I wanted to focus primarily on the child sex trade, which is a horrific sentence just in itself to ever have to say, let alone have to start a foundation to stop it. The only way I felt I could sleep was if I started doing stuff about it.

The clear mission, core values and action-oriented dedication of Founder Marisol Nichols to combat modern day slavery and child sex trafficking has fostered meaningful engagement with top Government officials, Federal and State Legislators, Law Enforcement, Homeland Security, White House representatives and like-minded global organizations.

On June 2, 2016, Slavery Free World produced an intimate briefing with Operation Underground Railroad featuring former CIA and Homeland Security Operatives, Tim Ballard and Matt Osborne. We were also honored to have California District Attorney Amanda Hopper, the District Attorney’s Chief Investigator Jason Parker, and Sheriff Deputy Carl Dinwiddie as special guest speakers that evening.
