    About this ebook

    Slavery still exists—here.
    Tens of millions of humans live in bondage worldwide, tens of thousands in the US.
    As seen recently on Fox News, Dillon Burroughs and Charles Powell bring awareness about what’s happening in our nation and world. The book and DVD teach about:
    - Human trafficking
    - Sexual exploitation
    - Forced labor
    - Agricultural slavery. Not in My Town answers questions and promotes discussion about the slavery system that crisscrosses Atlanta, Orlando, Las Vegas, New York, California, Texas, North Carolina, Haiti, Amsterdam, India, Cambodia, and beyond.
    The authors’ gripping journey shocks but also motivates and provides resources to equip new generations of abolitionists from all corners of society and diverse worldviews who share the common call to stop injustice.
