1 hour
Look at the clothes youʼre wearing. Shoes. Shirt. Jeans. Belt. Get online and find the websites of the company you purchased it from, and ask them if they are aware of trafficking, and if they are 100% sure that their supply chain is slave-labor free

Go on a trip with Faceless International and see for yourself. What better way to
understand the world than to experience first hand what is happening in the innocent lives of others.
A Saturday Morning or Evening
Have a car wash. A bake sale. A garage sale. A lemonade stand. A benefit concert.
And raise some money for one of the organizations that is working to end trafficking. Make sure that people understand why you are raising money.
A School Year
See if you can start a club at your school dedicated to learning about trafficking and dealing with the issues. One person can make a huge difference, but if you can empower a team, huge things can happen!
As much time as you can:
Educate yourself! Read books like Disposable People by Kevin Bales or Be The
Change by Zach Hunter, watch movies like The Amazing Change, or visit websites like Stop The Traffik or Free The Slaves and get educated!
