Local Event: Book Club "Refuse To Do Nothing"

Join us for a discussion of:  Refuse To Do Nothing: Finding Your Power To Abolish Modern Day Slavery
 
This is a great book to introduce you do the subject of human trafficking. It was written for the everyday person and seeks to encourage you into action.
Slavery didn't end in 1833, when William Wilberforce's decades-long campaign finally resulted in the Slavery Abolition Act. It didn't end in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It didn't end in 1949, when the United Nations declared trafficking "incompatible with the dignity and worth of the human person." The sad truth is, slavery never ended. It just went underground, where it continues to exploit powerless men, women and children in horrific ways throughout the world. Now for the good news: you have power. In Refuse to Do Nothing, "Abolitionist Mamas" Shayne Moore and Kimberly Yim share their stories of coming to terms with the power available to them in their normal, everyday lives
