In September, I moved back to California to join the executive team of Slavery Footprint, an organization working to change the landscape of modern-day slavery be connecting consumers to slavery in their story.  It’s been a wild ride so far and I am really excited about what’s coming down the pipeline this year. (Stay Tuned!)

This great video from our friends at Muhtayzik|Hoffer captures a little of what we’re up to the last several months.

Slavery Footprint was created by the same organization that brought to the public the acclaimed documentary “Call + Response” and it’s subsequent efforts to deepen public awareness of human trafficking and modern day slavery. At it’s core, this new project allows the consumer to visualize how their consumption habits are connected to modern-day slavery and provides them with an opportunity to have a deeper conversation with the companies that manufacture the goods they purchased.

Based in Oakland, California, the Slavery Footprint team works to engage individuals, groups, and businesses to build awareness for and create deployable action against forced labor, human trafficking, and modern day slavery. In addition to creating and developing the online tools, the organization is also engaged in off-line community education and mobilization programs.
