SLAVERY IS WRONG.

YOU KNOW IT. WE KNOW IT. AS A COUNTRY, WE’VE OFFICIALLY KNOWN IT SINCE 1863. BUT HERE’S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW — SLAVERY STILL EXISTS. WE WANT EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE 27 MILLION MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN, JUST LIKE THEM, LIVING IN THE SHADOWS. IN BROTHELS. IN FACTORIES. IN QUARRIES. WORKING AS SLAVES. IN 161 COUNTRIES. INCLUDING OUR OWN. WE ARE HERE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON SLAVERY. NO MORE BONDAGE. NO MORE SEX TRAFFICKING. NO MORE CHILD LABORERS. NO MORE, STARTING NOW.

April is Genocide Awareness Month.

Genocide is the systematic killing of a group of people, especially by ethnic group or race. A promise was made after the Holocaust: “Never again.” Sadly, history has resulted in many “agains” and all of them have resulted in innumerable deaths worldwide. The point of Genocide Awareness Month is to be aware. Don’t stand by and watch. And remember to always respect the rights of others regardless of skin color, race, sexual orientation, etc, because in the end, we’re all human.
