SEWARD, Neb. — Concordia University, Nebraska is scheduled to host the Christian rock band Remedy Drive on December 12 for a concert aimed at raising awareness and funds for anti-human trafficking initiatives. The event, organized in part by the university’s Lighthouse Club, serves as a focal point for the student group’s participation in the Dressember campaign, a global movement dedicated to combating modern-day slavery.
Remedy Drive, known for its alternative rock style, operates a non-profit organization called Daylight United. The organization focuses on anti-trafficking efforts, and the band has engaged in global work to address the issue. According to event organizers, the concert seeks to unite the campus community around this cause. Brynn Holtmeier, president of the Lighthouse Club, highlighted the educational aspect of the event, stating, “Our goal is for more people to learn and have a heart for this mission. Human trafficking is one of the darkest realities of our world.”
The performance will take place at 7 p.m. in Weller Hall on the university campus. A band from The Rock Lutheran Church in Seward is scheduled to open the event. The Lighthouse Club functions as an advocacy group within the university, focusing specifically on generating awareness regarding human trafficking and supporting intervention strategies.
Advocacy and Social Impact
The collaboration between academic institutions and advocacy groups underscores a significant strategy in the broader effort to dismantle human trafficking networks through public education. By integrating entertainment with social activism, student-led organizations are able to mobilize community resources and foster sustained engagement with critical human rights issues. While law enforcement agencies focus on the interdiction and prosecution of traffickers, community awareness campaigns play a vital role in prevention and the support of victim recovery initiatives.
