Not for Sale - Human Trafficking

Some websites and organizations that you should know about:

27 Million people are enslaved today. Not for sale is a campaign of individuals, musicians, artists, people of faith, businesses, schools and sports teams united to stop it. Everyone's invited. Welcome to the movement.

I pulled that from their site. Not for sale is a site that mainly deals with human sex trafficking. It offers resources (though not as thoroughly as I would like) for how to become aware. This is also from their site:

...Not For Sale is a campaign of students, entrepreneurs, artists, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers, united to fight the global slave trade.
Not For Sale aims to
educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement through the innovation and implementation of open-source activism. Inside the United States, the campaign identifies trafficking rings and collaborates with local law enforcement and community groups to shut them down and provide support for the victims. Internationally, the campaign partners with poorly resourced abolitionist groups to enhance their capacity.
Every single person has a skill that they can give to free an
individual living in bondage.
