Description


Please Join Lotus Outreach and the Red Light Movement on April 26th in San Diego’s Balboa Park  

There are an estimated 27 million people  in slavery today—far exceeding the number of those enslaved at the  height of the transatlantic slave trade.  This year, Lotus Outreach will host a booth at the Red Light Movement’s second annual walk and information  fair to spread awareness about human trafficking and modern-day slavery.    

The Red Light Movement exists to raise awareness of and encourage action  against the global slave trade. Through education, mobilization, and networking, the movement aims to rally individuals to join a modern day abolitionist  movement—starting in San Diego.  Last year, over 300 abolitionists participated  in the rally and walk to symbolize the movement toward global change.   

What:  The Red Light Movement’s Second Annual Walk and Human Trafficking  Information Fair  
When:  Sunday April 26, 20093:00 p.m. until sundown  
Where: Balboa Park – 6th and Laurel, San Diego, California  
Who: All modern-day abolitionists!  

In addition to the 3 kilometer walk, the event will include a variety of  interactive activities including a video/media center, art auction and  mock red light district. For more information or to volunteer, please contact  erika@lotusoutreach.org or visit www.redlightmovement.org.  We hope to see you on April 26th!
