To many of us "slavery" - the buying and selling of people - is a word that
echoes a brutal time in our past. But there are countless women, men, and
children forced into labor, sexually exploited and subjected to abuse each
and every day. Human trafficking is modern day slave trading.

What can you and I do about this scourge? First, you can take action on this
urgent human rights issue. Sign a petition that calls on Congress to take
strong measures to improve human rights protections for people trafficked to
the United States.

SIGN THE PETITION:

Then, invite your friends over to watch the Lifetime mini-series Human
Trafficking starring Mira Sorvino, an Academy Award Winner and spokesperson
for Amnesty International USA's Stop Violence Against Women campaign.

Human Trafficking airs tonight, Monday, October 24 and Tuesday, October 25
on Lifetime TV at 9 PM ET/PT.

Stand up and speak out against the horrors of human trafficking.

Sincerely,

Bill Schulz
Executive Director
Amnesty International USA
