Just a quick update tonight as we're gearing up for our launch party on Wednesday:

We released a new video this afternoon, "Every Small Action." It's about trafficking, but it's also about so much more. It's our attempt to start a dialogue we hope to carry on for a long time to come...one where we hope to start digging deeper than the simple answers and having the tough conversations. We want to peel back the common misconception that human rights abuses happen in isolation and instead start to talk about how it's all connected. But, more importantly, we want everyone to understand that every day and every small step provides the opportunity to create small, yet meaningful, change.

We're the "laboratory" because, as our home page says, we want to be a group of people that fosters an environment for the exchange of thoughts, ideas and research. That doesn't just mean us, as a nonprofit organization. It means you: your own talents, your own interests, and your own unique way to engage in this issue. When we say the issue of trafficking "is complex and constantly changing, and everyone must play a role in creating a solution as organic and adaptive as the issue itself," we mean it. We think you bring an history and a perspective that's needed, and we'd love for you to join us in working toward a solution.

So first, watch the video and pass it on to your friends. Then, come to our launch party on the 20th. We can't wait to see you.
