Super Bowl and Human Trafficking

Whether you watch the Super Bowl this evening or not, perhaps you could make an effort to raise awareness of human trafficking.  As suggested previously, the Half Time Challenge is a social media effort to raise awareness of the efforts to abolish human trafficking. 

If you cannot participate in the Half Time Challenge, could you make the commitment to do something else to raise awareness of human trafficking?   Perhaps you could share information with one other person. 

Here are some websites that could be shared:

• Stop Trafficking: A newsletter sponsored by religious communities (including the Sisters of Christian Charity) to promote awareness, to exchange best practices in advocacy and to recommend actions to stop human trafficking
• US Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking:  a collaborative, faith-based national network that offers education, supports access to survivor services, and engages in advocacy in an effort to eradicate modern-day slavery
• USCCB Anti-Trafficking Program:  An effort by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to educate on the scourge of human trafficking as an offense against fundamental dignity of the human person; to advocate for an end to modern day slavery; and to provide training and technical assistance on this issue.

There are many more sites that contain information about human trafficking.  Most of them are linked to the sites above. 

Let's agree to do something today -- pray, raise awareness, or advocate in some way -- to take a stand against human trafficking.
