We want to celebrate this day by actively raising awareness and taking positive steps to end the problem.
We have the following suggestions:
1) Make it your Facebook status, and if you have Twitter we will be trying to get Human Trafficking to be a trending topic
2) Educate yourself on the issue – go to the national website:www.notforsalecampaign.org 3) Make a New Years Resolution for 2010 to only buy Fair Trade coffee, chocolate or another product you use consistently
