LOCAL Closer Look: Restore NYC

Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2025 by Peter Kaye

Peter Kaye speaks with Beck Sullivan of Restore NYC about the hidden crisis of human trafficking and the powerful work being done to support survivors. Sullivan, with 16 years of experience, shares that trafficking is a multibillion-dollar industry—so widespread that for every coffee shop in NYC, there are two illicit businesses operating as fronts. She explains that traffickers target vulnerability, not specific people, and stresses the importance of education and open dialogue. Sullivan not only offers practical tips for parents to safeguard their children but also reflects on how her faith fuels her ongoing mission as Restore NYC focuses not just on rescue, but on long-term healing and restoration for survivors.
