Silence

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

The past couple of weeks I have been working with a team of volunteers on the upcoming Project Peace Speakers Series: The Slave Next Door and the more time I invest the more I see how this issue matters.

There are 27 million people enslaved in the world today. To put that in perspective about 8 million people live in Manhattan, now multiply that by 3.

Silence on this issue is not an option and the goal of The Slave Next Door is to be apart of breaking that silence.
