CANTON – St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s office is raising awareness to human trafficking by filling cracks in local sidewalks with red sand.
The project exists in cooperation with the Red Sand Project, which encourages communities to pour the material into sidewalk cracks as a “symbolic reminder of those who have fallen through the cracks,” according to the Sheriff’s office.
The project’s mission is to create opportunities for people to question, connect and take action against vulnerabilities that can lead to human trafficking, modern slavery, and exploitation. St. Lawrence County is participating in the program in cooperation with the Victims Assistance Center of Jefferson County.
The nontoxic, red sand is distributed for free to those participating in the program.
