Fighting Human Slavery

Dear readers,
I started this blog as I feel lead by the spirit of God to fight against issues of modern day injustice, in particular human trafficking.  I've seen various stats on the problem of human trafficking and the number of people being trafficked is somewhere between 1 and 3 million! This is unbelievably horrible and we all need to come together as a community to stop this evil.  The posts I include on this blog will involve highlighting and updating current news on this issue as well as pinpoint hotspots of trafficking activity.  As I investigate further, I will post resources for anyone who wants to take action such as websites, flyers, posters, fundraising tips, etc.  I would like to invite you all to comment on any ideas you may have or suggestions as I am trying to jumpstart a student organization at the University of Michigan to combat human trafficking.  If you are a student at Michigan and want to get involved, email me at sanjulia@umich.edu.  Hopefully, God can lead all of us on this journey and bring those responsible for human trafficking to justice.
