DC and the Not For Sale Campaign

DC was great, it was a successful conference at Georgetown on October 8th and 9th. The attendees learned how to be smart activist, more of what the NFS campaign was about and how to get involved and education others. We lobbied on the hill talking to Congress men and women as well as senators' staffers and representatives. Thursday night we had a candle light vigil, to light the path that we walked on symbolizing our movement to bring light to the horrible slavery conditions today. We walked with candles to the E Street Theater in DC to watch an amazing new film out about musicians and the anti-trafficking movement called: CALL AND RESPONSE.

Look at the youtube link, it is out in theaters and I really recommend seeing it! My professor and the founder of the Campaign is in it- David Batstone and my class at the University of San Francisco got a shout out as well:
