Slam the Gavel welcomes Vanessa Russell, Founder and Executive Director of Love Never Fails, a 501 (c)(3) and has been in operation since 12/ 2011. Love Never Fails is committed to the RESTORATION, EDUCATION and PROTECTION of young people who are at RISK of or currently being sexually exploited/human trafficked in California.
Since the beginning they have educated thousands on this issue, trained over 100 "Mentors for Positive Change", launched an elementary, middle and high school abuse prevention program and LOCATED well over 100 MISSING and exploited women and children while providing young people with sustainable JOBS in IT, real estate, banking, health care etc. They are a state certified CyberSecurity Pre-apprenticeship program, Cisco Networking academy, CalJOBs trainer and Department of Rehab vendors.
Their middle and high school education program was approved by the California Department of Education to satisfy health education standards and delivered to 4700+ students. Their elementary school abuse prevention program, Freedom Fighters was delivered to 250 students in San Lorenzo'. On September 28, 2014, Governor Brown signed SB1165 into law. This law recommends that all 6.2M students in California receive abuse and HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION EDUCATION.
Since then they launched a prevention collaborative with 3 Strands Global and Frederick Douglass Family initiative along with the partnership of California Dept. of Education and California Office of the Attorney General. This collaborative is called PROTECT. As of 2020 our curriculum was delivered to 500k students in five states. For more information go to protectnow.org.
Currently they have 2 houses for women and children and 1 house for girls, ages 13-17 who are escaping human trafficking. Also, they have added 1 home for men. They provide housing for 27 women, men and children.
This can be a generational problem of parents selling their children via coercive control. "Mostly these people want love. It's hard to break the trauma bond. Your love is there and then through prayer. You are offering your love and praying over that person constantly, and then you are encouraging them to go through the stages of change where they are and contemplative and when they start to feel your love and you are praying for them, they feel Gods love. They then learn what counterfeit love was compared to real love," Vanessa explains.
