Lindsay Lohan Changes Clothes, World

Yesterday began as an average day for actress Lindsay Lohan.  Visit girlfriend. Change outfit. Grab a latte at Starbucks. Change outfit. Pick up sister from airport. Change outfit. With the addition of a couple extra wardrobe changes in there, it's the sort of day any one of us might have.

But as evening fell and Lindsay's Twitter activity increased, it appears she discovered human trafficking and was outraged.  She tweets:

I just heard a 14 year old victim of human trafficking was married off to a 45 year old man as her father could not repay the money he had borrowed.

This story of the 14 year old being sold is 1 of a million. I am going to use my voice to bring attention to this global crisis.

Go Lindsay!  You have just joined the ranks of celebrities who are doing something to end human trafficking.  Congratulations. And if you're stuck for ideas on how to get involved, have your people call (or email) my people (which is me), and we'll do lattes, or kefir milkshakes, or whatever green-tea-infused beverage is cool these days.

Or if you prefer, you could start small, like with one Fair Trade purchase.  Might I suggest these?
