Tyler Perry is helping raise awareness about human trafficking by starring in a new public service announcement video.
The filmmaker teamed up with the first lady of Georgia, Marty Kemp, to create a PSA for her commission, which fights against human trafficking in the U.S. state.

“Sadly it’s happening right here in our backyard in Georgia, in small towns and big cities. Thousands of victims are trapped and they need our help. Unfortunately, many are being trafficked by the very people they trust the most like their friends and family,” says the Atlanta-based star during the video.
The Georgians for Refuge, Action, Compassion, and Education (GRACE) Commission works to combat human trafficking, hold perpetrators accountable and seek justice for its victims.
