JACKSON, Tenn. – The Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department is hosting a Red Sand Project event to raise awareness of human trafficking. The event is slated for Wednesday, July 30 at 8:30 a.m., at the Health Department, 804 North Parkway.

The Red Sand Project is a collaborative art installation designed to shed light on human trafficking. Participants pour red sand in sidewalk cracks to draw attention to trafficking victims who “fall through the cracks” of society. The Health Department is partnering with the Scarlet Rope Project to coordinate the Madison County Red Sand Project effort.
