POPSWhat did slave labor make for you? Human trafficking is as much about child labor slavery, as it is about sex. Something that you already own was probably made by a child slave. Find out what is is so you don't support slavery any more!

POPSSweatshop Slavery in Jersey Sex slavery usually gets the headlines and is serious - to be sure - but most modern slavery involves labor slaves to supply many of us with what we thought were legitimate low cost goods and services at places like Wal-Mart who spends way too much in trying to appear family friendly of late since we and they have practically underwritten much of the outsourcing of what used to be jobs in the US. Rant done, its - grin - safe again.

POPSHuman Trafficking: It's not just about sex slavery Like that relatively inexpensive Asian fruit you can get at your local Safeway, Ralphs, Krogers? Was it picked by forced labor in Hawaii? What about those great, cheap tomatoes you get in the winter? Were they slave labor picked or by United Farm Workers?

POPSStealing & Selling Kids - Here! Child trafficking is a problem in Eastern Europe, in South Asia and USA. It's not just for sex that children are trafficked but that's the big ticket item here in USA. Disgusting - yep. Who's buying and who gets jailed when police departments stop denying there is a problem in their community. In Cincinnati, they think it's not a problem but it's not just weed and coke that travels I-74, I-75 and I-74 interstates!

POPSSex Worker Rights, Unionization - Not for These Kids Lately, some folks have been promoting and romanticizing about sex worker discrimination, rights and potential for unionization in the US and other countries. There is nothing romantic or cool about trafficking kids and young women and men for sex or labor slavery.

POPSYou Need a Lineup to Know Who the Scum Are The other day, an organization I thought was great - CARE - Asked me and thousands of others to buy Old Navy GAP and Banana Republic items on sale, so GAP would make a big donation to CARE. I had no handy list to see if those companies were not involved in child labor or abusive labor practices. It took me a while to find out that buying those products contributes to labor and child trafficking. We need the list that our government has and is supposed to publish!

POPSAmerican Companies Using Trafficked Labor So where's the list that the Department of Labor was supposed to draw together in 2005? Gee, it was here someplace. Maybe someone sent it to the wrong address? The dog ate it? I think someone spilled unfair traded coffee on it.

POPSYou Cannot Save the World but Now You Know Omar Big numbers are sometimes a reason for avoiding doing anything about a problem you know is wrong. Guess what? That's a lousy excuse - sorry but it's true. As Peter Block says about leadership - everyone is in charge of themselves - you can act, you can say something, you can make a difference.

POPSIvory Coast Chocolate is the Problem In 2005 the International Labor Organization estimated that up to 6% of the 200,000 children involved in cocoa production could be the victims of human trafficking or slavery. These children are enslaved and abused, forced to work unbearably long hours and are often beaten. Many of these children are victims of trafficking and are working completely against their will. You can make an effort to stop this injustice by taking five minutes to tell Hershey how important it is for them to help end child slavery in Africa by calling them today at 1-800-468-1714. Also see a list of Fair Trade chocolate companies so you won’t feel as guilty about your sweet tooth.
