Let's change the game!
Human trafficking is the largest human-rights violation in our history. The largest football game in the USA is also is the #1 trafficking event in the USA.
If you are serious about creating A REAL CHANGE in our world, then use the things we have taught you. Use the tools, the platforms, the spheres of influence God has given you to CREATE a real change in the next 24 hours!
When I posted this on my Facebook page to over 83,000 people most didn't have any idea at all this was happening in the USA. Please, can you help spread the word?
There are more than 200,000 slaves working in America alone. That's enough to fill the Superdome 2.5 times!
Take some of these images and put them on your Facebook pages. Send them out through Twitter. YOU HAVE A VOICE.. use it.
BTW… we Krakowskis are BIG Super Bowl fans! We have parties at church, it's a great time to enjoy community, a meal and great fun! The sport of football is my FAVORITE sport of all time.. next to weight lifting. 🙂 So don't think I have ANYTHING against the NFL or the Super Bowl itself! Let's stand for what is important and protect these innocent victims.
With much love,
Sandi Krakowski
It’s obvious that where people are gathering in large numbers, the demand for such illicit trade increases as does other criminal behavior. It is a sad but real-life illustration of the economic model of supply and demand.
And the New Orleans area, as a port city and popular tourist destination sitting astride major interstate highways, already is a haven for sex trafficking.
The continuing tragedy is that once the NFL championship is decided and fans have returned to their homes, those trapped in slavery will remain behind.
Yet anyone in the U.S. can join in the battle against this modern-day human tragedy.
For instance:
-Be vigilant by being aware of people working in certain industries, including factories, restaurants, hotels, construction and agriculture.
-Take note of those who appear to have no contact with their family, no access to identification documents, whose movement is tightly controlled by others, who move frequently, who work excessive hours and have unusual work restrictions.
-Trafficked individuals may have injuries or signs of physical abuse, be malnourished, have few personal possessions and avoid eye contact and be hesitant to speak to strangers.
-Don’t assume that just because you don’t live in a major metropolitan area people are not being trafficked in your community. Commercial sex exploitation and forced labor is an issue where state lines and national borders have no meaning.
For any reasonable suspicion that someone is being trafficked, promptly call (888) 373-7888, a national hotline operated by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center’s Polaris Project.
