...X marks the spot...

Today I wear a red X to say that I will not stand for slavery in 2014.

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!
