Slavery ended a long time ago right? Wrong. In the world today it is estimated that there are 27 million + slaves. That is a huge number, 27 million people are bound in slavery for their entire lives. Some where born into it and some where forced into it, some where sold by their families to rich 'americanos' for money. The horror stories of slavery are as graphic and endless today as they were hundreds of years ago.
I've been an active abolitionist for years and so when the movie 'Amazing Grace' came out, I was thrilled that international awareness would be raised for the anti-slavery movement. Now I am promoting the movie and its relative website http://www.theamazingchange.com/index.html everywhere I can.
On this web site there is a petition that you can sign online or print off and send in. It only takes a few moments from your day, I really encourage everyone to take a few minutes to do this and spread the word. Post this link on your myspace, xanga, facebook, etc. Email the link to your friends, repost it in a blog on progressiveU! Just take a few minutes to become an abolitionist and help save 27 million lives.
[Americans have the tendency to be selfish, lets do something for the millions of people suffering for a change.]
