ABOUT THE NOT FOR SALE CAMPAIGN....
 ....
Founded in 2006 by Dr. David Batstone, Mark Wexler and Dr. Kique Bazan, the campaign equips and mobilizes Smart Activists to deploy innovative solutions to re-abolish slavery in their own backyards and across the globe. NFSC was created after Batstone authored Not For Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade and How We Can Fight It and is now a movement of thousands internationally. The organization supports partners in many countries who serve vulnerable populations and who are directly involved in stopping international human trafficking. In addition, the Campaign has more than 40 state and region directors in the U.S. and Canada working to mobilize a concerted grassroots response to the issue.
