This has been on my mind a lot lately. It makes me sad that there are sick and cruel people out there that are willing to take people from their families and lives and sell them for money into sexual acts/slavery. Human trafficking doesn’t just occur overseas, it occurs here in the USA, it occurs everywhere and it is sick and disgusting that not enough people seem to care or are even aware of it. This might only get a few notes, but I wish more people were doing something about this. The only charity I know you can donate to is : http://www.love146.org/ If you have anymore feel free to add.
Remember to focus on the positive, for we all have something about ourselves to be proud of.
If I have one piece of advice for young, aspiring activists, it is to always hold on to the joy, always make it fun. If you lose that, you have lost the whole battle.

Officials say many teen trafficking victims in LA come from the county's foster care system. The traffickers then use the girls to recruit others from foster care and shelters.
Shop the UN-SALE to Help Fight Slavery
via www.CharityGiftMarket.com:
We're MARKING PRICES UP on Black Friday thru Cyber Monday to RESCUE ONE WOMEN from Modern Day Slavery
We offered sales, and our customers resisted.
(CharityGiftMarket.com is a marketplace where 501c3 Charities post and sell products to raise support for their cause.)
When we offered discounts, our shoppers realized that the charity would make less money if they purchased the products on sale. When we told customers we RAISED prices and attached a specific outcome to their purchase, they loved it! We called it the UN-SALE. On the weekend of Black Friday thru Cyber Monday, while some shoppers are camping out to access the biggest sales of the year, we want to excite customers about paying MORE for their products with another UN-SALE with the main goal of rescuing at least ONE women from modern day slavery. All products from Made By Survivors will be marked up, with the goal of securing enough funds for them to rescue one woman from a brothel in India. We are working with Made By Survivors and they are committing all funds generated during that weekend from their sales to rescue women. Once a woman is rescued, ongoing employment and support are in place for her continued support.
While rescuing one woman is our main focus, other charities will participate in the UN-SALE to support their own causes (i.e. one product may provide food to a child in Malawi for one month). Shoppers can visit www.CharityGiftMarket.com from November 23rd - November 26th to shop at the UN-SALE.
About Us: CharityGiftMarket.com is a marketplace where shoppers can find products created and produced by 501c3 charities. Currently working with 45+ non-profit partners and offering 500+ products. We are based in Camden, NJ/Philadelphia.

USD Town Hall Forum on Human Trafficking with Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith
Today I went to USD with my sister to learn more about Prop 35. If we vote yes to Prop 35 it will be the first step in ending human trafficking in CA (however human trafficking is nation wide), it especially gets the law to side with the victims. Here are some links. Get informed on Prop 35 and human trafficking. http://dontsellbodies.org/

Shout out to my sister Shelley for inviting me to this event! :D
ACTIVISM WORKS
WalkFree has been pushing global fashion brand Zara to boycott cotton from Uzbekistan due to problems with slave labor in the work force there.
Zara has complied.
Now WalkFree are asking supporters to send their thanks to Zara, and to keep the pressure on for them to do more.
Slavery Footprint
The State Department has developed a brief interactive survey online that allows you to see how many slaves it takes to support your lifestyle. Take it here.
It takes 32 to support mine. I do anti-trafficking work for a living and still, 32. It’s wrong.
Take the survey and then either follow the helpful links provided to help or click here for a list of twenty things you can do to help combat modern day slavery.

YET ANOTHER WAY TO SUPPORT PROPOSITION 35
A week from tomorrow, Americans head to the polls.
In California, besides choosing a president, voters will decide whether to step up their state’s efforts to combat human trafficking.
If you stand behind Proposition 35, consider changing your social media icon to the image above.
We must spread the word.
Hang in there, mid-Atlantic America.

SEPTEMBER 22nd, 2012: LET FREEDOM REIGN
150 years after Lincoln “freed the slaves”, we are issuing a new Emancipation Proclamation. This is a working document which will be updated over time. We welcome your contributions.
Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of two thousand and twelve, a proclamation was issued by a nation of united people for the end of modern day slavery, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:
That on this day, in honor of the proclamation that came one hundred and fifty years before, all persons being forced and held today in modern day slavery, thenceforward be FOREVER FREE. We offer the following reflections regarding freedom.
My movements, destination, thoughts and choices are all my own. I am not caged or left voiceless… that is my freedom. –Jessica Kristie
Freedom to listen, speak, observe, and participate in any function of life without restraints that hinder the ability to do any of the before mentioned. -Twilla Robison Booker
Freedom is to have the possibility for my words and actions to reflect my inner-self, to be the master of my choices, and to be who I am, unconditionally. - Jeap Yang The choice of Freedom of expression for all parties, to voice and have their own opinions, make their own choices in life, to not be chained down by other’s. - Lenny Conner
Having the capability to create and define your own future, a reality that’s simply a dream for many. - Jessica Henry
Freedom is not an easy concept. Most of us truly aren’t free so it’s hard to express and define. To me, freedom is, quite simply, having ubiquitous choice. Choose a career. Choose a lifestyle. Choose a government. Choose a way of thinking. Choice. Protecting the power of choice is paramount to protecting freedom. - Chantal Sheehan
Freedom is a goal, maybe THE most important one. To be free means to be present without mental, spiritual or ridiculous national pride restraints. Freedom is also a choice. Most of us choose to take the bait. - Eusebio Hernandez
I believe in the fundamentals of freedom of Kant. Maybe because I think they represent or should represent the modern world. Although for Kant Freedom is not a choice but a moral duty. Nobody chooses to be a prostitute or to be poor. Circumstances are all we are. - Maria Elias
Freedom is something many of us take for granted who live in a generally free society. At it’s most basic, real freedom for me is freedom of movement, speech, assembly, and thought as long as no harm is done to others. - Jeff Nield Freedom, plain and simply is choice, your choice to be what every you chose to be, to love, to marry who ever you chose, its a simple concept that we as human being have been fighting for since the beginning of time. - Jack Fernandez Freedom is a basic human right, which means that it’s something humans are entitled to JUST FOR BEING HUMANS. Freedom is having space and time to think, to move, to act, to breathe. Freedom means having a wealth of opportunities before you from which to choose. Freedom is feeling a sense of control over your own life, which includes having control over your own body, mind, heart, and spirit. - Krystal Wu
Freedom means a right to live, sleep, communicate, prosper, and to live as you would want without persecution or ridicule from others, in any way we so choose. To have a right to explore our nation and its people to the fullest, to give the U.S. map a meaning to shine the red, white, and blue colors other than independence. - Clarissa Jackson
Freedom is life without imposed restrictions. - Morven Lennox
We are all connected in this consciousness. What I think will affect the Universe and my next door neighbor. Look further beyond what governments dictate. You are born here in this 3D/time space to experience change which is all evolution based. Collectively mean sky is the limit - Kathleen Woods
I feel that freedom is the choice to have a voice and give a voice to those who don’t. I am a woman who fought for women’s rights way back when, and I will continue to. - Suzanne Caley
Freedom is being able to say yes or no, and to be believed and respected for that. - Martin McKevatt
Freedom is having a choice. The ability to say yes, no, when, where, or why without restraint. All good & precious peoples should live with the essential liberty of free will. - Megan Ferguson
The moment we are born we are inherently entitled to the rights of personal power. We are born as beings who belong to none other than the Creator and ourselves…first. To cut, steal, hinder, suppress, manipulate, or deny an individual of their personal power, even in the name of LOVE, is criminal. The cultivation and access to ones personal power is essential to the development of personal happiness as well as to the building of a cooperative, compassionate community. Let us not forget that with our freedom comes great responsibility for not only ourselves but for our fellow man as well. With the guidance of our greatest selves, our intellect and the Creator, we can honor those responsibilities, completely. Freedom shall reign. - Jada Pinkett Smith
Global human trafficking, what the State Department calls “modern day slavery,” sometimes gets overlooked in the outrage about the smaller domestic sex trafficking problem.
