27,000,000

That number up there? That's the number of people in slavery TODAY in 161 countries around the world, including the United States. That's more slaves than any other time in history. Fear, violence, debt, drugs-- these are the shackles that keep these 27 million men, women, and children enslaved.

But there's something we can do about it. We can raise our voices and put an end to this. Educate yourself and get involved. Watch the video below from End It Movement, a coalition of organizations working to raise awareness, to prevent, and to end slavery. Check out their website and raise your voice. When your grandchildren look back at this time in history, they will ask where you were and what you did. How will you answer?
