The Ohio campaign is part of America’s Future Project Defend & Protect Our Children (PDPC) nationwide initiative to build a grassroots community of informed Americans armed with the facts, knowledge, and tools to help end the war on children. America’s Future coordinates Get In The Fight state campaigns with local advocates and individuals in each state. The state campaigns include an evening summit with a panel of experts and leaders with first-hand experience in the areas of trafficking prevention and rescue and recovery of trafficked victims and survivor services and assistance, followed the next day with a series of training programs and seminars, specifically tailored for individuals, parents and professionals in multiple industries, first responders, and others.

The Ohio Friday night summit begins at 6 p.m. with remarks by General Mike Flynn, America’s Future Board Chair, and a panel discussion moderated by Lara Logan, an award-winning investigative journalist on the Board of America’s Future, along with a presentation of a uniquely designed digital resource library of federal and Ohio laws and regulations governing child exploitation and trafficking and best practice strategies to effectively drive legislative action and policy development.

Summit panelists and presenters include Bazzel Baz, founder and president of the Association for the Recovery of Children (ARC); Tara Lee Rodas, HHS whistleblower; Tina Baz, ARC Human Trafficking Program Director; Lynz Piper-Loomis, activist, podcaster, overcomer, and author of I Am Silent No More; Daniel Duval, executive director of BRIDE Ministries; Alicia Hopper, paralegal, and attorneys Ben Moore and Alicia Kutzer.

The training programs on Saturday run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and offer a diverse range of courses tailored to various professions and roles. These include seminars for healthcare professionals, parents and caring adults, first responders, real estate professionals, and overcomers. The curriculum also covers essential topics such as “Navigating the Emerging Threat of Sextortion” and “Artificial Intelligence and Media Manipulation,” ensuring that every participant gains relevant and valuable knowledge.

Get In The Fight Ohio is the sixth state campaign held by America’s Future. Hundreds of people have attended state summits and training programs in Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Texas, and Washington State thus far. Following the Ohio campaign in June, campaigns are scheduled for Colorado on September 20-21 and Connecticut on October 4-5, with more states in the planning stage. As an extension of the America’s Future Get In The Fight campaigns and in cooperation with ARC, six-day “Fight Child Sex Trafficking Comprehensive Equipping Course” training programs are scheduled regionally.
