You, Me, and Our Human Rights

Did you enjoy your 4th of July celebration? I am humbled in appreciation of the men and women who protect my freedom every day. For me, exercising my protected freedoms is the best way to give those brave soldiers the credit they are due. Agree with me? I thought you might!

The spirit of the 4th of July has invigorated me and I will be joining other human rights activists in exercising our First Amendment rights in protesting Craigslist’s exceptional human rights violations. You should join me!

On Thursday, July 8, 2010, the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW), Prostitution Resesarch and Education, and numerous other co-sponsors will protest Craigslist’s facilitation of sex trafficking at Craigslist’s office, 1381 9th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122.

Nearly 100 different human rights organizations will be there, lending their spirit and expertise. Speakers will also be presenting from noon until 2pm about Craigslist’s reckless disregard for human rights and their perpetual contribution to the sex trade industry.

Geebo was asked by the main rally organizers, Prostitution Research and Education, to be a guest speaker. We are honored accept the invitation! Being a part of such a collective efforts is powerful. This is the type of power to be celebrated.

Busy Thursday afternoon? Postpone it. We are all victims when we stand idly by.

Nowhere near San Francisco? No problem. Show your support for the human rights movement by exercising your First Amendment on your favorite social network. Facebook status updates and Twitter posts are a great way to get the message out. Be heard in any way you can.

I look forward to your support on Thursday. Let freedom ring.
