Lately, buying coffee has taken on new import 'round the CL offices — is it fair trade? Sustainable? Same thing with chocolate. But what about clothes? Related: human trafficking. "Fine," you say, "but I don't buy and sell humans, so this doesn't apply to me." Um, not so much. Human trafficking happens all over the world — it's a $150 billion (with a B) per year industry.
What can you do? First things first: Attend this workshop at the Scientology-based United for Human Rights Center, and they'll help you understand not only what you can do, but also the true scope of the problem.
United for Human Rights Center, 29 N. Fort Harrison Ave., Clearwater | June 28: 7:30 p.m | RSVP or ask questions here.
