Want to Blog to End Slavery? Here's Your Chance!

If you think you can do what I do here on Change.org every day ... well, you're probably right. That's because you're smart, committed, and savvy. And because blogging is, in many ways, the democratization of media. It's a platform for people who are passionate, whether about recipes or fly fishing or fighting human trafficking, to come together and share in a dialogue about what matters to them. And now, you can blog about human trafficking at the new We're Ending Slavery blog.

We're Ending Slavery is a human trafficking-focused, crowd-sourcing blog platform created by The New Abolitionist. Its goal is to provide a place for people who are working to end modern-day slavery to come together and share ideas, inspire each other with stories, exchange important information, and engage in a community of activists. And the best part is, anyone can be a blogger. All you need is a computer, a mouse, and something to write about. Whether you're a professional working with human trafficking survivors, a student just starting to learn about the issue, or a parent trying to engage with a group of peers, you're welcome to voice your experiences.

For the past year, I've felt really privileged to be a part of the fantastic and growing human trafficking blogosphere. However, compared to a lot of other social justice issues, there aren't as many human trafficking blogs as there could be. And while Change.org members have certainly used this blog to create some real and awesome change, we'll all be able to do more with extra information and a bigger Internet community.

So consider checking out the We're Ending Slavery blog and submitting something. Just click on the "Tell the World Here" button and start a writing. And I hope you all keep reading so I never have to answer that age old question, "If a blogger blogs and no one is there to read it, does it make an impact?"
