Atlanta has a significant problem with trafficking of young kids into prostitution and other commercial sex industries.  However, they also have a significant solution.  The "Dear John" Campaign, while not new, is still one of the most innovative actions a major city's mayor has created to address the issue of sexual exploitation of children.  Here's the PSA:

Most major cities have human trafficking problems which include the exploitation of young, local girls in the commercial sex industry.  If your city isn't doing anything to address this issue, send the mayor this video and ask them to do a campaign of their own.  It's a great way to get the message out to the "johns" in all cities across the U.S.
