The Civic Circle | January is Human-Trafficking Month + Interview with Christa Mayfield the Director of Operations for Project Protect Our Children
The Civic Circle is a new youth-led podcast by the Bucks County Beacon tackling politics and policy from a Gen-Z lens. Sarah Zhang, Mallorie Marsan, and Alexandra Coffey are students from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Once a month they chat about activism, advocacy, and all the political happenings affecting their generation today. They focus on PA politics and want the podcast to serve as a call to action for all young people to get involved in the civic process and demand change.
January is Anti-Human-Trafficking Month. This episode of the Civic Circle tackles the issue of human and sex trafficking, legislative initiatives taking place at the federal and state level, and ways young people are playing a role in advancing this movement.
In the second part of the show, we talk to Christa Mayfield, the Director of Operations for Project Protect Our Children (PPOC). Christa helps run PPOC’s incredible Youth Action Boards that seek to increase youth engagement in human trafficking advocacy.
