Did you know that Michigan is ranked #13 in the US for sex traffiking?
Do you know that next to illegal drugs, sex traffiking is the highest illegal industry in the world?
Maybe its time to find this out together.
As a believer and follower of Jesus, He called us to live differently, to passionately care about and pursue people, to be seekers of justice and mercy. If this is my call, how could I possibly support modern day slavery?
Here is what I am committed to do (Gulp!)
1. Not shop at the following stores, or buy the following products:
-Kohl's
-Walmart
-Ambercromie and Fitch
-Gymboree
-Hanes
-Nestle
-Mars
-LL Bean
-Pier One
-Ikea
2. I will buy:
-fair trade coffee
-fair trade chocolate
-fair trade clothing and jewelry
-shop at good will stores
3. I will
-Pray
-Learn
-Give
-Advocate
-Volunteer
What will you do?

Wow I didn't know all of that. Wow... I have to tell you that my word verification letters were saten...not cool!
Add Nike to your list! I have been on this mission for years! Even though Nike got busted and they claim they no longer use sweatshops it is not true. They now sub contract the local cities to do it. So tecnically they can say they don't do it because they hire someone to do it for them. I have an AMAZING book on sweatshops if you would like to borrow it.
