Constituents gather in Washington, DC to advocate for a block on imported goods produced with forced labor.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (OBSNews.com) - Frustrated by their possible connections to slavery, nearly 200 consumer activists participated in meetings with their elected officials on Tuesday March 2nd in support of legislation that would block the import of goods produced using forced labor.

The Global Advocacy Days event is part of Not For Sale Campaign’s (NFSC) work to end slavery. During 2010, NFSC has focused its campaign on the intangible connections consumers have to their supply chain and how they may unintentionally be perpetuating slavery. “As a consumer there is currently no enforceable mechanism that would ensure that I am not consuming goods produced using forced labor. The proposed changes to the Customs Facilitation and Trade Reauthorization of 2009 would fix this,” said Kilian Moote, Director of Advocacy for the Not For Sale Campaign.
