EMANCIPATED Recap

This past Saturday night, the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery teamed up with the awesome new downtown cafe/bar, The Manifest to gather our abolitionist friends and celebrate hope in the fight against human trafficking!
We had tons going on:
-music jamming by Koa Road
-information about human trafficking on display
-a petition asking for a tougher state law against human trafficking a ready to sign
- jewelry/shirts/bags on sale from organizations that support individuals who have come out of the slave trade (SHE Thailand, Not For Sale, Bangkok NightLight, Starfish Project, Free the Slaves)
-three awesome speakers
-delicious drink specials cooked up by Brandon and Justin

More pics on the way! Thanks to all who came out to support the cause! Shirts and jewelry on sale!Koa Road!

Special thanks to: The Manifest Ohana (Brandon, Justin, Nicole), Daeja Fallas and crew for the sweet professional photos (photos to come soon!), Koa Road for the amazing music, Imago Dei Christian Church for the equipment, GirlFest Hawaii volunteers, and the tons of friends and family who lent a hand. Slavery still exists, and we can do something about it.
Be on the lookout for more events in the future.
