Slavery

I recently attended a seminar about Slavery, run by Catalyst and found it both interesting, alarming, and saddening.
What am I against? …. slavery!
I thought we left this all behind us, but no, its just changed its colours.

Click on the powerpoint slavery-overview (9 slides), and you will find a high level coverage of the issues, and suggestions for action.
It has implications for how we might manage the highest ideals of our lives, and it also brings it to a level where our day to day actions can contribute to solutions. This even includes for example, how we do our shopping - what brands we buy and why, and why not.

There are many global problems that seem mind-boggling, unfixable in the short term. But with accumulated voices, we can slowly change things for the better. As Bill Gates once said,
“people over-estimate what they can achieve in the short term, and underestimate what they can achieve in the long term.”

What I’m hoping for, by writing to you - is that you visit the Catalyst site, or read the powerpoint summary. And think about… “what is one idea you agree with”.
For me, this small achievement would be a good first step.
