A new public art installation in greater Northside Houston is aimed at raising awareness of and providing resources to victims and witnesses of human trafficking.
Part of UP Art Studio s Mini Murals program, with funding through the city of Houston, the murals highly colorful and visible from the street are painted on traffic control cabinets by local artists. They include the phone number for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, alongside uplifting images of birds, flowers and butterflies.
“Art can improve awareness, inspire change and encourage healing,” read a statement from Debbie McNulty, director of the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. “Through the artwork of Houston-area artists, we aim to provide a resource for individuals most vulnerable to human trafficking within a community very much impacted by this tragic issue.”

This week, in the episode The Perils of the Plea, on December 14, the show took the Black Lives Matter propaganda to a new level by having the victims of BLM s destruction defend the protests.
During the show, court stenographer Sara Castillo (Lindsay Mendez) visited her grandparents, Lupita (Renee Victor) and Miguel (Castulo Guerra), while they were working on rebuilding their store. An earlier episode had shown Sara come to comfort them as they cried over the damage. This time, Sara got upset when she erroneously thought they were criticizing the protests for it.
Miguel: What s the matter? Sarita, Hija.
