“Slavery is such an atrocious debasement of human nature... To instruct, to advise, to qualify those, who have been restored to freedom, for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberty… and to procure for their children an education calculated for their future situation in life; these are the great outlines of the annexed plan, which we have adopted." 

Benjamin Franklin wrote these words for the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery in 1789. Well over 200 years later, here we are still organizing to fight human trafficking in our hometown. Houston is the worst city in the nation in this regard, and this needs to change. Let us take a stand against this injustice. I run for those who cannot. Please take the time to share this fundraiser, and if you have a few dollars, pitch them in to help someone less fortunate than yourself.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. Start here and now.
