trafficking by signing the petition
to Labor and Health and Human Services Appropriators!

200 advocates ascended upon Capital Hill Tuesday March 2nd to support legislation that would block imported goods if they are produced under exploitation.  Frustrated by their possible connection to slavery the modern-day abolitionists participated in meetings with 70 different Congressional Offices to support crucial language within the Customs Enforcement and Trade Reauthorization that would establish the Office on Labor Enforcement tasked with investigating goods tainted by slavery.

The advocates kicked off a month long effort by the campaign to focus support needed legislative efforts to address trafficking. The next Global Advocacy Days event will be in Ottawa Canada on March 25th and 26th where Canadian citizens will fight to end slavery.
