Names:Martin and Emma

Bio: These two Social Justice Mentors have been outstanding as returning students to the SJ program. Emma has started a school wide campaign to help our campus do the right thing by no longer ordering apparel from companies who use sweatshops. Martin focuses most of his efforts on the plight of farm animals and looks to help others make a compassionate choice when they sit down to eat. These eleventh graders are bound to raise eyebrows well into their senior year.

Contrary to popular belief, slavery didn't end with Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Experts estimate that today there are 27 million people enslaved around the world. It's happening in countries on all six inhabited continents. And yes, that includes the United States. The CIA estimates 14,500 to 17,000 victims are trafficked into the "Land of the Free" every year.
