While walking the streets of Southeast Asia, Chad's heart was truly broken by the fact that people (including children) were being trafficked like drugs and sold into forced labor and prostitution. Displayed on storefronts like manikins in a shopping mall, young men, women and children are sold for as little as $3 for sexual encounters. Others may be tricked into working for a recruiting company only to be sold into forced labor. After returning home, he and his wife, Rachel, were made aware that this is also happening right here in our own American towns!
Convicted to act against this horrible injustice, they began to brainstorm how they could make a difference and contribute to the fight. Being screen printers and having a heart to raise awareness of human trafficking, they decided to launch www.SpeakAgainstInjustice.com, an entity dedicated to raising awareness of human trafficking via spoken messages and statistics on t-shirts, sweatshirts and by way of public speaking.
Speak Against Injustice is unique in several ways, which they like to summarize as the "Speak-4".
There are four reasons why purchasing Fair Trade Certified human trafficking shirts from Speak Against Injustice is beneficial.
By purchasing a shirt you are:
1.) Supporting products that are ethically made, and each fair trade certified t-shirt you buy promotes sustainable livelihoods for the garment workers as well as cotton farmers, and ensures a slave free product.
2.) Going Green! Organic cotton represents a return to safe and sustainable practices. It is grown with natural fertilizers and is free from toxic chemicals.
3.) Raising Awareness of social injustice by simply wearing a Speak Against Injustice shirt.
4.) Financially supporting entities who fight against human trafficking as 25% of each sale from your item goes to organizations who are proactive in fighting against Human Trafficking.
While there are more than 27 million slaves in our world today, most have the false assumption that slavery ended a long time ago. To the contrary, there are more slaves in the world today than ever before in history. Will you be there voice... will you speak for them... will you Speak Against Injustice?
