When I learned to Be A Smart-Activist
I first became aware of human trafficking and the extent to which slavery still exists during my sophomore year of college. The more I read about it, the more uncomfortable I felt – I knew I couldn’t continue living as I had before. I felt compelled to take an active stance against this injustice, so I decided to start up an anti-human trafficking group at my school. However, as much as I wanted to mobilize students on my campus, I felt woefully unprepared to do so.
There Are More Abolitionists Today Than Ever Before
It’s been said that there are more people enslaved today than there were during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The good news is, there are also more abolitionists today than ever before. In an effort to bridge the space between awareness and engagement, the Not For Sale Academy was developed to equip aspiring abolitionists with the tools they need to effect real and lasting social change.
