Sex trafficking prevention advocates are converging on Milwaukee for the RNC convention, and not just because Felon Trump and Matt Gaetz are going to be there:

As 50,000 people converge on Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention next week, organizations say everyone should be on the lookout for sex trafficking.

"We will do a same-day intake. We will do everything we can to help them," said Debbie Lassiter, Convergence Resource Center founder and CEO. "We’re ready, and we’re ready to partner with people that also want to help."

Convergence Resource Center is an organization that works to end sex trafficking. For the past seven years, Lassiter has traveled to the Super Bowl and rescued victims.

"If it’s anything like the Super Bowl, there are going to be people brought here against their will," she said.

It's nice to see that at least some people care about the victims. The Republicans sure as hell don't, as evidenced by the way they ignore and even try to cover up the crimes of their own members, including the Big Felon himself.
