Was reading Brad Ruggles blog (http://www.bradruggles.com/) and he posted this which to me is amazing.
CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history.
CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the
child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to
reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike
and Starbucks combined.
There are MORE SLAVES TODAY than ever before in human history!
In 2007 Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks COMBINED!
CALL
+ RESPONSE is a unique documentary because its goal isn’t just to
present the facts but instead to provoke a response. The web site gives
you a host of ways you can take action against the injustice of slavery in the world we live in.
In the words of social and political luminary Dr. Cornel West,

Never forget, justice is what love looks like in public.
To me seeing a whole group of influencers coming together to fight for a cause that as amazing as this really stirs me up. Our world just doesn't revolves around our own problem. There are others who can't speak for themselves and need others to speak on behalf of them. Lift up ur eyes and look beyond your own problems and your own stuff and be the voice of those who can't speak for themselves.
Fight for a cause that is bigger than yourself. I really like what Dr. Cornel West said... JUSTICE IS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE IN PUBLIC.
Most of you might not know Zach Hunter, here's a bit about him....
Fifteen-year-old Zach Hunter is just like any ordinary American kid.
He likes listening to music, reading, and running after what he is
passionate about. By the age of 12, he had a specific passion. It was
to ‘be the change’ and abolish slavery, just as William Wilberforce did
200 years ago. Having launched the ‘Loose Change to Loosen Chains’ http://www.myspace.com/lc2lc
programme in the seventh grade, Zach raised thousands of dollars with
the intention of rescuing victims of slavery.
As the global student spokesperson for The Amazing Change, a social justice campaign launched in conjunction with motion picture Amazing Grace, Zach continues to encourage people to become modern day abolitionists, and to take after the steps of Wilberforce.
