The non-profit is a ministry called Agape International Missions (<a href=\"https:\/\/aimfree.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/aimfree.org\/<\/a>).<br><br>Check out the visualizer for that song:<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ciDbGh_ss4M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><br><br>We jumped at the opportunity to talk with David Adam Monroe (aka The Plague) about this topic for this exclusive interview.<br><br><strong>Tell us about this non-profit ministry and what made you want to raise funds for them.<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><\/strong>Agape International Missions (AIM) is an amazing ministry that fights sex trafficking globally.\u00a0 They literally raid places with SWAT teams, rescue victims, then rehabilitate, house and employ them to help them get back to a healthy life. It&#8217;s one of the most noble and courageous things I can think of.\u00a0\u00a0For a lot of people living in our modern world today, it&#8217;s hard to fathom that human trafficking is taking place, much less flourishing and growing. It&#8217;s easy to live in denial when it comes to dark crimes like this. What information did it take for you to be aware that this was going on?I come from a background of addiction, including sex addiction through pornography. \u00a0 When Christ came into my life I felt convicted that my reliance on this habit was a dark pit that could go to some deprived places.\u00a0 Not only did God save me from sexual acting out but pointed me to where I could make a difference in the lives of victims that are suffering at the furthest end of lust and evil.\u00a0 I did some research at that point and found AIM and met with them in order to make a difference. I wrote this new song \u201cFloat Right On By\u201d to support the cause and promote donations.<strong><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p>What are your thoughts on the possibilities of somehow lowering the demand for human trafficking? Something is feeding this demand. Any thoughts on how that can be combatted?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019ve seen lust as\u00a0 a spiritual disease.\u00a0 A lack of connectivity to God, family, others and ourselves drive deprived and desperate solutions to being hungry for relationships.\u00a0 The enemy takes Good things and perverts them.\u00a0 Social media makes us more isolated.\u00a0 Pornography is normalized in society.\u00a0 I can tell you that it created resentment in me that was so deep I couldn&#8217;t see it and felt entitled to it.\u00a0 These are the lies that we deal with in a fallen world.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Relationships.\u00a0 Real, close, intimate, understanding, forgiving, challenging, LOVING relationships are the answer. Relationships with Christ, friends and family.\u00a0 Relationships of service that can instill purpose.My experience is that it is so much more complicated in practice than it is on paper.\u00a0 I don\u2019t just need to learn how to trust, but who.\u00a0 And how to deal with people (myself included) not being perfect like God is.\u00a0 And how to accept the tension of the lifelong journey of constantly learning new ways to rely on Him.\u00a0 This is uncomfortable for me but learning to rely on real love.<strong><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p>The criminals in human trafficking seem like a level of evil that is maddening.

Sometimes human trafficking, which is a form of slavery, happens in industries, where the threat of losing immigration status or official papers keeps victims locked in a cycle of a hellish reality of psychological imprisonment. What else have you learned about human trafficking that you want to share?<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><\/p><\/strong>Recently, the P Diddy case has been interesting to me.\u00a0 It combines the music industry into the human trafficking world in a way that I\u2019ve narrowly escaped.\u00a0 I was definitely close to situations like this but God protected me.\u00a0 There is a fuzzy line but so much of the entertainment industry is abusive phycologically at the very least and pushes messages that perpetuate the cycle.\u00a0 There is so much music that sells sex and feeds the cycle of depravity and destruction of innocence.\u00a0 It is sad that it is so normalized because it plants seeds that can grow into these kinds of tragedies.\u00a0<br><br><br><strong>The Plague<\/strong>\u00a0has released his latest alt-rock single &#8220;What Else Can I Do?&#8221; <br><br><strong>Purchase\/Stream:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.fixtmusic.com\/WhatElse\">https:\/\/link.fixtmusic.com\/WhatElse<\/a><br><br><strong>The Plague<\/strong>&#8216;s new track, &#8220;What Else Can I Do?&#8221;, dives deep into the frustration and emotional toll of trying to communicate with someone who feels unreachable.\u00a0<em>&#8220;The song is about struggling with communicating with a loved one. I recently found out about some severe limitations about a family member and have been coming to terms with it,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0<strong>The Plague\u00a0<\/strong>explains. Lyrically raw and vulnerable, the song captures the struggle of feeling unheard, with intense imagery of being pulled apart and overwhelmed by emotional disconnect. The chorus echoes a desperate plea, expressing the helplessness of trying every way to connect but finding no breakthrough. Themes of miscommunication, mental strain, and the weight of unresolved tension pulse through the track, blending personal turmoil with powerful, relatable emotion.<br><br>The song showcases\u00a0<strong>The Plague<\/strong>&#8216;s ability to\u00a0tap\u00a0into universal emotions surrounding miscommunication, mental strain, and personal turmoil, all driven by The Plague\u2019s signature blend of alternative rock, modern rock, and hard rock elements. The track\u2019s powerful synths, driving guitars, and pulsating drums perfectly complement its poignant message.\u00a0<em>&#8220;I hope people feel understood and supported in their frustration,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><strong>The Plague<\/strong>\u00a0adds.\u00a0<br><br><strong>The Plague<\/strong>\u00a0is the brainchild of producer\/engineer David Adam Monroe, a pioneer of Future Punk.\u00a0<strong>The Plague<\/strong>\u2019s post-apocalyptic themes portray the struggles of being human, encouraging people to break free of the superficial and to know they are not alone.<br><br>David has been playing music from an early age, highly encouraged by his parents, he received an electric guitar at age ten and took off emulating his favorite bands at the time;\u00a0<strong>Greenday<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong>, and other 90\u2019s rock bands.
