Tomorrow I'll be leaving Los Angeles to have a meeting with a member of the Not For Sale Campaign in San Francisco. I am so excited to establish a solid relationship with this non-profit group. Not For Sale partnered with Touch A Life in January to build a school at Lake Volta.
The campaign was started by individuals concerned with domestic human trafficking. While human trafficking abroad had been publicized by news outlets, human slavery in the United States was going undetected. Members of the Not For Sale Campaign decided to take action to bring this issue to light. The campaign has expanded to include both domestic and international efforts.
For a little taste of what the organization is all about, read the following excerpt from Not For Sale's Web site:
- Not For Sale aims to educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement. 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.
David Batstone, one of the founding members of the organization, wrote a book titled Not For Sale, which is a tool that can provide you with more information regarding the incredible things the members of the campaign are working on in order to eradicate human slavery.
