On Thursday, Echols will host his "Unholy" event in Fitzgerald, GA, highlighting the harms of human trafficking in conjunction with the Ben Hill Sheriff's office. Speaking at the event will be officials from the Bibb County District Attorney's Office, the FBI, and many non-profits. The event will be held at the Depot, 116 N. Johnson Street, Fitzgerald.
