Are you sick of wasting your money on useless plastic crap made in overseas sweatshops? Do you want to use your money to vote for something you actually support -- a hopeful future for former slaves? Then check out Change.org's weekly Red Light Special. Once a week, I'll be bringing you a product that heals rather than hurts, because the proceeds go to help victims of human trafficking. Shop Red Light Specials to be part of the solution, instead of part of the useless crap problem.

This Week’s Red Light Special ... "Beloved" T-Shirt

The good folks over at Stop Traffick Fashion have just released a new line of 100% Fair Trade, organic cotton t-shirts made by the women of Freeset in Kolkata, India. The shirt creators were once marginalized and trapped by poverty and prostitution, but Freeset has given them a way to find freedom by learning new skills to earn a good living making tees for you! A Freeset Tee sustainably pulls people out of poverty, children and pesticides out of fields, and women out of the sex trade. The "Beloved" tee features the message, "Be Love. Be Free." in bold, colorful block letters. It's the perfect gift for the person in your life who inspires and loves you ... even if that person is yourself.

You can buy this item here.

Let's face it, you don't need any more stuff in your life, but human trafficking survivors sure need a future. And you can give it to them with just a click of the mouse and a swipe of the credit card. So what are you waiting for?

If you know of an organization or business which you’d like to see financially rewarded for helping trafficking victims, let me know!
