Meet the Speaker
Noel Thomas of Dark Watch
Noel Thomas is a visionary leader dedicated to eradicating human trafficking through pioneering technological solutions. With a background steeped in identifying organized crime, coordinating law enforcement efforts, and advancing technology, Thomas is an entrepreneur poised to make a historic impact in the fight against exploitation.
His journey began with Operation Mobilization and Youth With A Mission (YWAM), where he witnessed the devastating effects of human trafficking on vulnerable communities. This ignited a fervent desire for change, leading him to serve as the former Statewide Counter Trafficking Coordinator for Florida. In this role, Thomas coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies, NGOs, and governmental bodies, spearheading initiatives to disrupt trafficking networks and support survivors. His strategic leadership elevated global awareness of human trafficking and implemented comprehensive intervention strategies.
Driven by a desire to harness technology for social good, Thomas founded Dark Watch, an innovative platform aimed at disrupting the human slave trade and protecting vulnerable populations. Through advanced data analytics and monitoring technology, Dark Watch empowers businesses to track, monitor, and combat trafficking activities, ensuring the safety of customers and communities.
As a Whitaker-published author, Thomas extends his mission through his book, "Dark Traffic," offering insights into the world of organized crime and advocating for tangible solutions and hope. His dedication to justice, coupled with his innovative use of technology, serves as an inspiration in the relentless fight against human trafficking.
Central to Thomas's mission is a vision of a world where every individual is valued, protected, and liberated from exploitation—a vision rooted in his deep faith in Christ and commitment to setting captives free.

In order to carry out our mission, we seek to:
- Educate voters about pro-life issues including the various stages of fetal development.
- Inform our membership about legislation affecting the unborn, the handicapped and the elderly.
- Energize our members to actively participate in pro-life events.
- Influence elections and legislation by supporting pro-life candidates and bills.
- Engage our culture via media and other public forums.
- Impact our community by advocating in support of the pro-life cause.
The IRC Republicans for Life hosts a luncheon meeting at the Vero Beach Yacht Club on the fourth Friday of each month except for July and August (during non-election years). The dates of our November and December meetings are flexible due to the holiday season. At each luncheon, special speakers address our membership and guests about important topics that are pertinent to the pro-life movement.
Our Board of Trustees meet the first Wednesday of each month at 2:00p.m.
