Want to make sure the products you use are slave free?

As a part of the Call and Response movement it is all forms of slavery that are being addressed, not just the dark and dirty world of sex slavery. When we look down at our shirts, glance at our cups of coffee, or lean back in that office chair, we do not always stop to realize that in some way we may have been aiding and abetting the slavery that goes on in the global workforce. Be a part of stopping it by addressing it.

Here Call and Response has set up a page for you to reach out to companies by speaking against slavery and for companies to respond with their stance on the issue. Now, I know that corporations will word almost anything in the best possible way for their benefit, but if enough people email, and they feel enough people watching, who knows what might happen? Check it out, there are probably a lot of products you own on this page. Be involved in who you are and what you are doing.

Slavery

This was in a sermon at Grace Fellowship recommended to me by my best friend Jennifer. When I saw it, it made my heart swell. As many of you know, I live outside of Atlanta, the number one city in the U.S. for child sex trafficking, last I checked number thirteen in the world. This is a problem. And it’s in our back yard. Again I advocate the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Although the nation is in distress right now, the William Wiberforce Reauthorization for the TPVA, now a few years old, will continue to financially support its cause. This is a small amount of the budget for a problem that is only worsening. To help or volunteer with this cause in Atlanta, please contact Innocence Atlanta or Wellspring for Girls. One organization is doing great things to raise money and awareness, the other providing servicing and housing to girls who have been affected in this way. 27 MILLION slaves in the world today. Do something. Love. Make a difference.
