This morning when I saw this press release I was ecstatic! MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) Campaign and Radiohead are teaming up to raise awareness by co-producing a music video for Radiohead's All I Need track from In Rainbows. The music video will be premiering on all things MTV networks tomorrow. But you can watch it here now! I really think the video will raise some heads up. MTV EXIT and Radiohead aren't stopping there. While Radiohead is on tour in North America, Europe, and Asia, activists belonging to local anti-human trafficking organizations will be distributing key information about trafficking. Another excellent way to raise awareness! FYI:Human Trafficking is defined by the United Nations as “the recruitment, transportation, and receipt of a person for sex

These people are stealing the future right out of the hands of their children! I can't even WRITE about this, I get so mad. The saddest part of this is that international governments are so much less likely to care about the decimation of priceless animal species than they are about a couple of dollars a barrel for crude. If governments can sit by and watch civil wars and genocide, what hope is there for the animals?! Big Business: Wildlife Trafficking | Newsweek Animals and Pets | Newsweek.com

How can they even force the woman into submission through fear and terror? For a man
