Today I wear a red X to say that 27
million slaves worldwide is 27 million too many.
Today I wear a red X to say that
forcing people into manual or sexual labor is egregious.
Today I wear a red X to say that a
human being is worth more than $90, the average cost of a slave.
Today I wear a red X to say that I have
made myself aware of the warning signs and I'm watching.
Today I wear a red X for the 10 year
olds in Thailand forced to have sex with grown men.
Today I wear a red X for the slaves who
are being forced to service up to 60 clients a day.
Today I wear a red X for the men, women
and children who are being forced to work without pay.
It isn't much, but I'm hopeful that my little X will spark awareness in others.
Who's with me?
I'll have my red marker in tow today.
Let's shine a light on slavery
together!
