The goal of We Run Oakland: For Our Children is to engage with the community to ensure they are more informed about the perils of human trafficking. Our objective is to continue our efforts in bridging the gap between services and community, closing the gap between ignorance and action, while challenging our mental and physical health. We Run Oakland: For Our Children will emphasize the importance of teaching RESPECT between "him" & "her"; promote self-worth, self-respect, self-confidence; and demand the elimination of exploitation.
