How Rock ‘N Roll Apparel Fights Slavery
Not For Sale and Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum rock ‘n’ roll band Third Day have joined forces to to prevent human trafficking in one of the world’s most vulnerable areas. The purchase of a limited-edition Free2Rock T-shirt will provide jobs, training and economic development for at-risk men, women, and children in the Peruvian Amazon. Proceeds ensure those vulnerable to exploitation will have the opportunity for a bright future: One where they are free to go to school, get a job and live dignified lives.
Third Day Comes Together with Not For Sale for Freedom
Proceeds from this month’s campaign will help Not For Sale create programs that
encourage economic development and provide jobs and artisan skills training for vulnerable
communities in the Peruvian Amazon.
Rock out with Third Day to prevent exploitation, protect freedom and dignity, and

From Peru: NFS Invests in the Future of 77 Indigenous Communities
In 2012, Not For Sale Peru, in collaboration with 77 indigenous communities, will launch the first phase of a new series of ventures in the Amazon. The Peruvian Amazon is one of the most abundant and resource-rich areas on the planet, yet the people who call this region home are some of the most vulnerable and exploited communities that Not For Sale has encountered. These communities often fall victim to traffickers as they desperately search for opportunities for better futures for themselves and their families.
EXTENDED: Free2Rock Campaign to be Available Until Next Week

More than 10,000 people attempted to purchase the group’s T-shirt at Not For Sale Store’s website in a period of just four hours on the first day of the campaign alone.
