Not For Sale Campaign + USCRI

In response to Sarah's post, I saw that site too! It looks really cool, and they have programs in the summer about an Academy to become a certified investigator for tracking cases of human trafficking. However, I think the academy is in California, and a bit pricey. If you can, I think it'd be a great experience! I also think the certification is specific to that organization, so you'd be able to work with them in the future!

On another note, I'm volunteering at this place on Mondays called the United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. Some of the immigrants that are coming over are also victims of slavery in the form of forced labor. I'm waiting to hear from a woman there about any more information about slavery in our area that she might have.

Not For Sale: Ending Human Trafficking and Slavery

Hey!

While searching for more information on modern-day slavery, I found this website. It has many interesting facts and several articles about human trafficking all over the world, maps showing areas of the US where trafficking rings have been found, plus many ways in which groups can contribute to stop it, such as buying clothes and merchandise from "Freedom Store", and it also has interesting articles about Fair Trade Chocolate.

Voulnteers Needed

Hey Guys,

Here is an article from Times Union about the Refugees in the area. They are in dire need of volunteers. While it is not directly related to slavery, it is certainly something we could do to get out there and help!
