2 WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

The premise is simple. Fast for two meals on Friday, March 12th. Take the money you would have spent on those two meals and donate it to Love146. Two meals is an easy sacrifice that almost anyone can make. The money you donate will go to help prevention and aftercare treatments for child sex slave survivors.

If you're not able to fast due to health concerns or pregnancy, please help us spread the word about the "Fast for Freedom" with people you know. We can ALL make a difference with a little sacrifice.

AUTHOR'S INVITATION:

Everyone I talk to about modern slavery agrees it's atrocious. Then they ask, "What can I do?" BE A VOICE. Spread awareness by sharing these posts and videos with others. Collectively we can reach thousands of people. Creating awareness and making this an issue in the public mind WILL lead to CHANGE.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

As most of you know, Love146.org is the reason I began my journey as a modern day abolitionist.

Their video, "Imagine," didn't just grab me, it shook me to make a difference. If you have a chance, I suggest watching it as well.

This short video shows the history of Love146 and what they do.

This topic can be a sad and depressing issue, but we have to remember to stay positive and have fun as we work to end slavery. I think RT contests are a blast and who doesn't like winning free stuff. Plus, wouldn't it be great if our message reached 1 million people.

FREEDOM FRIDAY GIVEAWAY: Win a Watch & Help us End Modern Slavery!

INTRODUCING FREEDOM FRIDAY!

I've decided to start a weekly giveaway called "FREEDOM FRIDAY." Every Friday I will run a contest on Twitter for a free gift. Here's how it works.


HOW TO ENTER:

Receive (1) entry into the drawing for every retweet (RT) of my "FREEDOM FRIDAY" message. I will post my RT message every Friday on Twitter.

PRIZES:
Prizes will vary from anti-slavery books, bumper stickers, watches and various swag donated from vendors.

HOW IT HELPS:

Raising awareness. Collectively we can reach hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter. Each RT message will focus on ending human trafficking and modern slavery. This topic can be a sad and depressing issue, but we have to remember to stay positive and have fun every once in a while. I think RT contests are a blast and who doesn't like winning free stuff.

WIN THIS WATCH ON FRIDAY!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's "FREEDOM FRIDAY" message and be entered to win this Red Digital Ollie Watch from Precision Time.

As you can tell from my Twitter and Blog colors, I'm a big fan of red. I think it symbolizes the essence of modern slavery and our fight to stop it.

Red invokes passion. Red portrays love. At the same time Red symbolizes pain and sorrow. We have to remember that love is our motivator in this work, which drives our passion to end the pain and sorrow of slavery.


HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Although this is free to the public, it's not free for me. I can always use donations of prizes and/or money. If you own a business or have access to promotional materials, let me know. I'm always happy to give away swag along with a plug for your company.

Thanks,
