Have you been to the website www.notforsalecampaign.org. There's a bunch of really important stuff on thee, including when the next conference is coming up. But i want to "re-post" their statement about people of faith getting involved. Here it is:
"
Think of what would happen if churches, synagogues, and mosques in every community prayed and preached against slavery.

Imagine what would happen if missionaries and religious workers sent from every faith community networked within their countries to be a force against trafficking.

Think of what would happen if leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu communities of faith dialogued about the evils of slavery and strategized about how to work together despite the differences to end slavery.

Those “what/ifs” reveal the potential of our collective engaged faith communities. The resources are unlimited. The energy is palpable. The results would be amazing.

People of faith have a special role to play when it comes to the work of abolition: freeing slaves and creating a world where survivors can thrive. We will assist you to grow a thriving abolitionist program in your backyard by providing platforms for active engagement."

So...what are you going to do? Send me a comment and let me know.
