Making sure that Massachusetts passes an anti-trafficking bill on October 25 .

The Massachusetts International Justice Advocacy Group has organized a call-in event and is looking for Bay Staters (people who live in Massachusetts) to participate in it.

On OCT 25, join fellow MA abolitionists and let your MA State Representative know that you want to see a strong anti-trafficking bill passed in MA as soon as possible!

Massachusetts is one of many states that do not have any legislation against anti-trafficking even though it is affected by it.  It is ironic the state  that prides itself on fighting for individual freedom, and abolishing slavery has dragged its feet on passing legislation to save those who are being trafficked.
