 Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of a controversial argument

It turns out that Tirzah is becoming a part of what Zack Hunter coins "The Justice Generation". I like that title a lot better then Gen X, don't you? She is currently reading 15 year old  Zack Hunter's Book "Be the Change", his goal is to abolish slavery worldwide in his lifetime.

Having Just seen "Amazing Grace" you may think, as I did slavery is abolished. William Wilberforce worked his whole life to abolished slavery in the UK when there were 11 million slaves. Abraham Lincoln continued the cause with the Emancipation Proclamation bringing an end to slavery in America. Or has it?

Slavery is still a world wide problem. There are approx. 27 Million slaves world wide This is over twice the amount in Wilberforce's lifetime. Today it is called "HUMAN TRAFFICKING. The US Govt. spends 50 million dollars a year on this and 12 Billion dollars a year on Drug Trafficking.

Below is Tirzah's plea.
