Ethan began his involvement with Not For Sale in Southern California as a Region Director based out of Orange County. After acquiring his B.A. in English Literature from the University of California, Irvine, he joined the staff in Northern California as Director of Free2Play. In his time with Not For Sale, Ethan has participated in a wide variety of events at universities, music festivals, faith based organizations, and political offices around the country. These events range from hosting an annual Free2Walk in his hometown, to traveling on the Free2Play Tour, to aiding in the logistics of the Global Forum on Human Trafficking. He is expanding Free2Play into a growing community of athletes, fans, and fellow abolitionists who seek to use their own creativity as a means of combating human trafficking.

Kevin Austin Director of the Abolitionist Faith Community

He is the organizer of both Freedom Sunday and Freedom Shabbat. Additionally, Kevin helps to equip and educate faith communities so we may all engage effectively in re-abolishing slavery.
Many of us have the freedom to dream of what our future might be. We have been fortunate to be raised with the right to pursue an education, the right to physical recreation, and the right to artistic expression. The access to resources that allow us to turn our dreams into realities is a luxury we may often take for granted. For 30 million people around the world, these basic human rights are being denied. Human trafficking removes the freedom to choose one’s own destiny and by way of physical, mental and sexual abuse, forces victims to perform services for the financial benefit of another. For those who are fortunate enough to escape, the ability to move forward is fraught with obstacles. This is the face of modern-day slavery.
Not For Sale seeks to educate the public on the innovative solutions that have been developed and deployed around the world that are working to make slavery history. We seek to mobilize passionate and creative individuals to join the movement and share their passions and their skills to help provide necessary resources to ensure a future for those who are trapped in slavery. Together we can help ensure that everyone is given the right to dream big and to act with the power of autonomy. Your community can become leaders in the modern-day abolitionist movement!
Here’s how it’s happening:
Not For Sale is traveling around the world in 2011, spending up to two days in each community it visits.
