I just went to hear the founder of the “Not for Sale Campaign” speak. He wants to end slavery in our lifetime. You might think, “what? slavery ended a long time ago with President Lincoln” but slavery still exists. It is weird, isn’t it? People don’t talk about it. I didn’t learn about modern day slavery in grade school or high school. I would think it should be part of the materials that should be taught today in school and talked about at the coffee station at work.
Today, 27 million people are enslaved. It is incredibly widespread. It ranges from people working in sweatshops all day with no pay making nice jewelry for Americans to buy to young women and girls being kidnapped to be whores against their will at under cover brothels all over the United States. I just mentioned two examples that are directly connected to the US. Slavery is in every country!
I think people need to know. I think something needs to be done. To learn more about modern slavery and what you can do about it visit the website: www.notforsalecampaign.org
