If you believe or are interested in human rights and the universalism of human rights, check out NOT FOR SALE - http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/
They are all about standing up for a universal understanding of human rights and fight all forms of human trafficking and slavery. There are many forms of trafficking, not just sex trafficking. Slavery and trafficking can be unfair/unpaid work, forced sex acts, illegal adoption, and others. They are a large organization that partners up with dozens of local organizations around the world to raise awareness and fight slavery world-wide. They have a bunch of different things that you could do, or learn from on their website. Petitions, videos, list of local organizations - you can find one near you and have options to volunteer or get involved some how etc. One of my favorite things is the FREE2WORK branch that they have. You can go and find a specific brand or product and NOT FOR SALE has graded that brand or product on an A-F scale of how fair and just their work force is. This is a fun and interesting way to be active in buying socially just products.
Also, I thought I would throw in my blog - elizabethheld1dress.blogspot.com
As some of you know, I am working on an anti-human sex trafficking campaign focusing on the Trade in the US. I am raising awareness by wearing the same black dress in different ways everyday for a year and gaining support for Rahabs Hideaway which is a local columbus group dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating sex trafficking victims. You should check it out! I also have a facebook, 1dress. 1 cause. "Like" it if you're interested and tell your friends!
