Across Las Vegas, community leaders, advocates, and faith-based organizations united to confront one of society’s darkest crises — child trafficking. Hosted by Stop the Traffic Foundation and American Majority Nevada, the event merged prayer, education, and action, empowering Nevadans to expose exploitation and protect the vulnerable through awareness, advocacy, and faith-driven reform.

As Washington’s budget standoff halts federal funding, the shockwaves are already being felt in Southern Nevada. From unpaid air traffic controllers and TSA officers to struggling families facing food insecurity, the shutdown underscores how deeply federal decisions affect everyday Nevadans — turning politics in D.C. into real-world hardship at home.
