Ending Modern Slavery (online event July 30, 2015) - Twitter

from GBCS dot-org (United Methodist Church General Board of Church & Society):

World Day Against Trafficking Twitter Rally
Thursday, July 30, 1-5pm EST
A Call to Action to End Modern Slavery
Friend,
On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, nonprofit, faith-based and anti-trafficking organizations will host a Twitter Rally to build momentum for legislation that combats human trafficking and get the word out about the importance of increased investments. The United Methodist Church “regards the institution of slavery … as a[n] infamous and atrocious evil” (Social Principles ¶164A). John Wesley spoke out against England’s endorsement of slavery as “wrong and incompatible with Christ’s teachings” (Book of Resolutions  #6021).
Invite your friends and colleagues to join you on Thursday, July 30, between 1pm and 5pm EST. Let’s make this a huge show of support for ending modern slavery in our generation!
Goal: Raise awareness about the End Modern Slavery Initiative Act. Make members of Congress take notice by making #EndSlaveryAct a trending topic.
