News and stories

The podcast

The conversations that do not fit in a press release. In full, and unhurried.

Call to Freedom's podcast covers trafficking and exploitation in the Northern Plains: how it works, who it reaches, and what actually helps.

Listen

Episodes and guest appearances are on our YouTube channel and wherever you normally listen.

What it covers

  • How recruitment actually happens, including online
  • What survivors need in the first 72 hours, and in the years afterwards
  • Conversations with advocates, law enforcement, medical and legal professionals
  • Legislative change in South Dakota and what is still missing
  • Prevention: what works with young people, and what does not

Episodes are made for a general audience. They are honest about the subject without being graphic, and they are safe to listen to with older teenagers.

Coming on as a guest

If you work in a field that intersects with trafficking, whether that is hospitality, healthcare, transport, education, law or policy, and you have something useful to say, call 605-261-1880.

We do not host survivors as guests in order to have them recount what happened to them. If a survivor wants to speak publicly, that is their decision and we will support it, but we will not go looking for it.

An hour in the car is enough to change what you notice.

Most people who call our line first heard about us somewhere ordinary.
