Slavery

Do you remember when America had slaves? Well thank goodness that that’s over, right? Well, it’s not. Over 27,000,000 people are still enslaved worldwide. But at least it’s not happening here in the U.S., right? WRONG! An estimated 25,600 cases are reported each year where young people are kidnapped and forced into slavery. “Well I’m just one person, what can I do?” Every February 25, participants draw a red X on their hand to help spread awareness. Let’s help to truly put an end to slavery!
