Sign petition for Super Bowl Host Committee to incorporate anti-trafficking PSA

With the 2011 Super Bowl just around the corner, football fans everywhere will be flocking to the Dallas area in person and via TV to take part in one of the world's ultimate sporting events.

Sadly, the Super Bowl also draws a crowd of human traffickers selling young children and teenage girls for sex. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott gave a public address in which he said, “the Super Bowl is one of the biggest human trafficking events in the United States.” He has vowed to combat traffickers by teaming up with local law enforcement and has created a task force to kick traffickers out of the Super Bowl.

In addition, the Dallas local anti-trafficking organization Traffick911, has a created a PSA and other materials with the help of former New England Patriot Devin Wyman. In the Public Service Announcement he addresses child sex trafficking and aks other men to join him in protecting kids.

Traffick911 has been trying to get th 2011 Super Bowl Host Committee to join the anti-trafficking cause by adding the PSA and free posters, flyers, etc... to the Super Bowl marketing and ad campaigns. So far they have had little success.

Urge President Obama in Fight Against Human Trafficking

Please join IJM (International Justice Mission) in calling on President Obama to protect vulnerable children and families from trafficking and exploitation, in Haiti and around the world.

On Inauguration Day 2009, many of you answered the call to sign a letter to President Obama, asking him to make the eradication of slavery and trafficking a hallmark of his presidency. Since that time, President Obama has appointed committed diplomats and made a powerful statement by declaring January National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

We'd like to ask you once again to join IJM in calling on President Obama to work toward the eradication of trafficking and slavery in our time.

You can do so by SIGNING THE PETITION at IJM.com.

Your signature will help make a difference as we band together. Every voice counts and together we are making strides towards the eradication of slavery in our world.

There are currently over 20,000 signatures and we want more. Help us reach 30,000+ by the end of the month.

Thank you,
John Burger
