OUR VISION
We are committed to making a meaningful difference by providing survivors with the resources they need to rebuild their lives. Our goal is to fund local human trafficking organizations that prioritize individualized survivor care. We believe in the individual housing model because it offers a secure and supportive environment, empowering survivors to embark on new, hopeful journeys.
In 2023, Brevard County reported 11 verified cases of commercial sexual exploitation of minors, accounting for 3.2% of such cases statewide.

LORI DORR-BIDDLE
Founded in 2017 by Lori Dorr-Biddle and Carol Gracia, Called Out fights human trafficking, in Brevard County, Fl through education, prevention, and awareness. As a Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) Lori’s heart for others, love for Christ, and background have exposed her to the world of human trafficking and its role in stealing lives on a global scale. Lori has spent over 33 years serving her community. She has trained with United Abolitionists, spoken publicly on trafficking, and attended Florida’s Human Trafficking Summit multiple times.
ANGIE NORRIS
Co-founder Angie Norris, a former Brevard County school teacher, witnessed the devastating impact of human trafficking during a 2012 mission trip to the Dominican Republic, where she worked with survivors. Seeing this reality firsthand drove her to take action. Committed to ongoing education and community empowerment, Angie is passionate about preventing trafficking in her hometown. Through Called Out, she works to support survivors in Brevard County and share a message of faith, hope, and restoration.
WHAT WE DO
Called Out was founded by mothers who saw a critical need for more education on human trafficking. This $150 billion industry affects every U.S. city, with most victims between 12 and 15 years old. Yet, only about 1% are ever recovered.
EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY
Education is the first defense against human trafficking. Angie and Lori are passionate speakers who bring real stories, critical insights, and actionable steps. Their engaging presentations equip audiences to recognize the signs, protect loved ones, and take action in the fight against trafficking.
EMPOWER THE SURVIVORS
We have a strong partnership with Release Sara and Agape Women, working together to create the SARA’s Root Housing Initiative. This program provides individual homes and personalized recovery plans for survivors, as we believe true healing happens outside the group home model.
Florida ranks third in human trafficking hotline calls, yet many cases go unreported. We work with law enforcement and advocacy groups to gather key information that helps identify traffickers. Through events like Totes Against Trafficking and Cars & Cigars, we raise awareness, and funds for survivor housing.
