It was a privilege to speak at Children at Risk’s Stand Up for Children Gala and to stand alongside so many passionate advocates working to protect Texas’ most vulnerable. I’m deeply grateful to Children at Risk for being a leader in this fight—not just today, but for nearly two decades. As a former chief human trafficking prosecutor, I’ve witnessed the devastating impact of exploitation—and I’ve also seen the power of relentless, informed advocacy. From their early efforts to shine a light on human trafficking to their continued push for stronger policies and accountability, Children at Risk has never wavered in putting children first.
It was also a joy to be surrounded by so many tireless champions in this work—including Dr. Bob Sanborn, CEO of Children at Risk, and Mandi Kimball, Vice President and Chief Government Affairs Officer—whose leadership continues to drive meaningful change. Moments like this are a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together with purpose, compassion, and determination. |
