I am going to start a community project that educates and promotes awreness about human sex slave trafficking. Many people arent aware that slavery is still a very real issue and that women are being sold for as little as 100$...thats 100$ for a human life! I have already made up flyers and posters ad also plan to start recruiting memebers within the next couple of weeks. I do not plan to keep this just a community project although i realize starting small is wisest. I am working on a website for this project and plan to take it global.

There are still 27 million people enslaved in today’s world. That is more than all the slaves over the 400 year of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. These slaves are held in unimaginable conditions and undergo unthinkable hardships. This is a crisis that can not be ignored. Luckily there are students around the country who are motivated to make a difference. I am starting a campaign called Clapham Sect: Phase II (named after the Clapham Sect; the group of people William Wilberforce worked with to abolish slavery in the British Empire) which will be community of student abolitionist.
