Trafficking Free Zones Explained — How Everyday People Can Help Prevent Human Trafficking

In this episode of the Trafficking Free America Podcast, survivor-leader Oree Freeman sits down with Jeremy Hicks to break down one of the most practical and accessible ways communities can prevent human trafficking: Trafficking Free Zones. This conversation clarifies what Trafficking Free Zones are (and what they are not), why you don’t need to be an expert or rescuer to make a difference, and how education, awareness, and readiness can create safer environments in businesses, churches, schools, and neighborhoods. Drawing from lived experience and real-world implementation, Oree and Jeremy explore how prevention often begins long before trafficking occurs, why consistency matters more than heroics, and how small, informed actions can change outcomes for vulnerable people. This episode continues the mission of Trafficking Free America—equipping everyday people with practical tools to respond to trafficking in a thoughtful, survivor-informed, and Christ-centered way. 🔗 Learn more about Trafficking Free Zones: https://USIAHT.org/TraffickingFreeZone ✝️ Become an Abolitionist: https://USIAHT.org/Abolitionists 🎧 Subscribe to Trafficking Free America for survivor-led conversations and practical ways to make a difference. 🕒 Episode Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction: why Trafficking Free Zones matter 1:06 – You don’t have to be an expert to help 2:04 – Moving from rescue myths to readiness 3:46 – Why “see something, say something” isn’t enough 5:16 – What Trafficking Free Zones actually are 7:05 – How businesses, churches, and schools can participate 9:14 – Survivor story: why consistency changes everything 11:23 – Showing up without having all the answers 13:15 – How to respond safely when you notice something 15:52 – Prevention starts before trafficking happens 18:30 – Community awareness as protection 21:12 – Everyone has a role—stop trying to do everything 24:24 – Final encouragement: readiness over heroics
