Join Us at Politics and Prose This Weekend
Ed Rothschild, a friend of the show here at POGO, has asked us to spread the word about the publication of a new book, The Slave Next Door: Human Trafficking and Slavery in America Today, co-authored by his college roommate Ron Soodalter and Kevin Bales, president of the globally renowned anti-slavery organization Free the Slaves. Here’s Ed’s description of the book:
“This is the first book to address and fully document the broad spectrum of modern-day slavery as it specifically pertains to the United States and provides a combination of case studies, interviews with government officials, service providers, victim advocates, survivors of trafficking, and in some cases, the actual traffickers. The authors not only evaluate what is - and isn’t - being done on the local, state and federal levels, to combat this blight that sees many thousands enslaved within our borders each year, but also suggest what the average citizen can do to help in the fight.”
For those in the D.C. area, Ron and Kevin will be speaking about the book at Politics and Prose (5015 Connecticut Avenue, NW) at 6:00 P.M. on Saturday, July 11.
Hope to see you there!
