21st-century Abolitionists

Melrose Church Spotlights Modern Day Slavery with Freedom Sunday (co-written with Alysa Obert)
February 17, 2010
This story appeared in the Melrose edition of the Boston Globe.


Blurb: "Sotelo and fellow members of Hope Alliance Church will join hundreds of other congregations throughout the country this Sunday, February 21, as they shine a spotlight on modern day slavery in the first ever Freedom Sunday. Organized by the international movement known as Not For Sale, a global campaign that fights to free modern slaves in our own backyards and around the world, Freedom Sunday will expose the atrocities of modern day slavery and invite members to participate in the emancipation process. And in the next few months, many Jewish and Muslim communities will follow suit with their own versions of Freedom Sunday."
