I'm a member of the Amnesty International club at my school. We held a human rights conference in May. Many inspiring speakers came to talk about their organizations. Carl Wilkens was the keynote speaker. He was the last remaining American civilian during the Rwandan genocide. The event was very well-attended and our club is looking forward to next year's conference!
I was fortunate enough to assist Annie Fukushima, founder of Students & Artists Fighting to End Human Slavery. She is currently studying Ethnic Studies & Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, & Sexuality at UC Berkeley.
For her session, she started off with information about what human trafficking is, where it is, and the different ways to help. Then she had us break into groups and paint on canvasses. For this painting, my group chose a word that we felt represented human trafficking: trapped. Our heart was chained down with the pain of human trafficking.

"Seems like I'm caught up in your trap again
Seems like I'll be wearing the same old chains
Good will conquer Evil
And the truth will set me free
And I know some day I will find the key
I know somewhere I will find the key
Seems like I've been playing your game way too long
Seems the game I've played has made you strong
When the game is over I won't walk out the loser
I know I'll walk out of here again
I know someday I'll walk out of
here again"
