Send Priceline's Big Deal back to wardrobe: Pimp culture only promotes the degradation of women and sends a negative message to our youth that prostitution is acceptable. A person who buys, sells and physically assaults women is not someone American consumers should be buying a flight, hotel, or car rental from. The use of this likeness for "Big Deal" is appalling. Help erase "pimping" from popular culture by telling Priceline.com's CMO Brett Keller and CEO Jeffery Boyd that there is nothing, to quote Mr. Keller, either “amusing” or “entertaining” about a “Big Deal” that represents the exploitation, abuse and degradation of women.

Stop child porn on facebook: The Question: If Facebook has the human and technological resources to topple governments and shift human history, shouldn’t it be able to prevent sexually explicit and abusive images of children - some only newborns - from being placed on their system?

This is what many people are asking as the proliferation of pornographic images of children on the world's most powerful social networking website continues to grow. And while the practice of pedophiles using Facebook to share images and videos of children being sexually assaulted is criminal and commonplace, what is most surprising is the lack of attention their crimes receive.

Tell Universal Music Group and Kanye to Stop Eroticizing Violence Against Women: A leaked teaser shows violence against women. The organizer of the petition says, ""The mainstreaming of videos like this increases desensitized and callous attitudes toward violence against women. Young people are seeing images and absorbing harmful messages which glamorise misogyny and brutalise women." 

Put the Brakes on Child Trafficking at Truck Stops: Let's join together and request that Pilot Flying J Truck Stop, which is one of the largest truck stop chains in North America, educate their staff and truckers in an effort to make their facilities free from human trafficking. 

Help Major Airlines Become Leaders in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: Pilots and flight attendants who aren’t familiar with the face of human trafficking won’t even see it and will unwittingly facilitate her transport into a life of captivity.

Tell Apple to Block App That Facilitates Child Sex Trafficking: A new iPhone app has the potential to facilitate the sex trafficking of thousands of children.

Family and friends,

If you’re like most Americans, you probably aren’t aware that our own children are being forced into sexual slavery right under our noses. It’s an epidemic, growing at an alarming rate with the explosion of the Internet. Sadly, this growing tragedy is happening across our country in big cities and rural areas alike.

Each year, 100,000-300,000 U.S. children are forced into this evil industry for the profit and pleasure of their perpetrators. In fact, human trafficking is already the second-largest and fastest growing criminal activity in the world. It’s anticipated it will shortly overtake drugs as the No. 1 crime because you can sell a drug once, but you can sell a person over and over. They sell these children 10, 20 or more times a night.

I was horrified when I learned of this brutalization of innocent children and  wanted to make sure you are aware of it, too. These children are voiceless. Let’s come together and be their voice. And, let’s protect our own children. Most of us think something like this could never touch our families, but it can happen to any child.

This issue is urgent. Once a child is forced into it, his or her average life expectancy is just 7 short years. We must act now. Learn more by visiting www.traffick911.com or by following Traffick911 on facebook or on Twitter.

The scope is huge, but, together, we can make a difference one child at a time.
