February 23rd is officially "Shine a Light on Slavery Day." The red X's are being shared by everyone from athletes, to celebrities, politicians, and then some with the purpose of bringing awareness to modern-day slavery and human trafficking.
Human trafficking affects nearly 21 million people worldwide, 1.5 million in North America, whether it's due to sexual trafficking or labor trafficking. Become a part of the #EndItMovement today.

- Share red Xs and spread awareness by hitting the topic with those who aren't aware.
- Become a digital defender and work against the sexual exploitation of children online.
- Volunteer with anti-trafficking nonprofit groups.
- And donate what you can to organizations like the End It Movement.
