Affect Change

Whether you are a survivor or someone who desires to see an end to modern-day slavery, everyone has the power to affect trafficking policy on every level.  Let your local, state and federal representatives know you expect them to pass legislation that will crack down on traffickers and provide victims with the support services they need to put their lives back together.  You can call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to get a listing for your local policy makers and refer to the Library of Congress for bills that are currently under review.

SUPPORT FREEDOM

The day there is no demand for products or services made available through force or coercion, is the day that the supply of products made through slave labor will disappear and slavery itself can cease to exist.  As a consumer, you have the power to make choices that support fair and lawful labor practices. It’s up to you to make a difference.

Chain Store Reaction is an open letter to the producers of your favorite products. ASSET Campaign, founded by Actor and United Nations Ambassador Julia Ormond, has lead the effort to investigate slavery in companies’ product chains and to clean it up where they find it. Only you can start a chain store reaction, visit this site to send a personalized email to your favorite brands demanding that you want a guarantee that their products are slave-free.

 

CAST and ASSET are co sponsoring a bill in the California State Legislature that would help increase transparency in the supply chains of major corporations doing business in the state. To learn more about CAST's work on supply chain transparency, click here: CAST Supply Chain fact sheet.pdf
