Stop the Traffik

Here's an easy way to take 2 minutes and help those who are being oppressed. Human trafficking for sexual exploitation or slave labor is now the world's fastest growing illegal trade, more lucrative than drugs. Women and children are the most affected. There are an estimated 27 million people in slavery right now.Stop the Traffik is a coalition of agencies, institutions, churches, and individuals committed to taking action against the buying and selling of people. A petition is being raised that will be given to the UN Secretary General Bang Ki-Moon on February 13th. If we can collect a million signatures the UN will endorse a Stop the Traffik fund. So far we have approx. 500,000 signatures and US$ 1 million pledged but the deadline is approaching fast. Please could you sign the petition on www.stopthetraffik.org and get as many people to sign up as you can. It only takes 2 minutes and will have a huge return!
