GREAT FALLS, Mont. - The Red Sand Project has been bringing communities together to raise awareness of the dangers of human trafficking and modern-day slavery. In 2021, instead of gathering together in the community, there are small pop-up events happening on March 31 and April 1 in Great Falls, Missoula and Billings. Red sand is being spread in sidewalk cracks around the state to represent those that have fallen through the cracks of our society. The Red Sand Project gives people the chance to question, connect, and take action against things that can lead to human trafficking. "The red sand is life. It's somebodyâs life whose life was cut short or we can't find them," Joe Visser, the programming coordinator for the Juvenile Detention Center, said.Â
