Frozen in Time...for 5 minutes...Try Bondage for a Lifetime

This past weekend 120 others and I participated in The Freeze Project (hosted by Charles Lee of JustOne & Derrick Engoy) and it was was an awesome success!

Basically what we did is select a location at the Santa Monica Promonade and freeze for 5 minutes in an "interesting" position. Upon freezing, we had tons of people walking/sitting around the promenade wondering what was goin' on. After the freeze people were very curious and asked tons of questions and we passed out lots of flyers. It was a very effective way to inform people about human trafficking.

If you aren't familiar with human trafficking it is modern-day slavery. It involves victims who are trafficked to and from various countries and locations and are forced, defrauded or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation. Annually, about 600,000 to 800,000 people -- mostly women and children -- are trafficked across national borders which does not count millions trafficked within their own countries. People are snared into trafficking by many means. In some cases, physical force is used. In other cases, false promises are made regarding job opportunities or marriages in foreign countries to entrap victims.
