In the world today, slavery still exists in many places. Currently there is an anti-trafficking bill, the TVPRA (a bill to combat slavery) that is being voted on by the US Congress. This law was previously in effect but has now expired and needs to be renewed. For extra credit, write AND SEND a letter to a congressman asking him or her to support the TVPRA. The website below explains more about the TVPRA and provides links to websites where you can find the email addresses of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate:

2. Send your letter to one or more congressmen.
3. Email a copy to me or hand in a printout.
4. Sign the form stating that you mailed your letter to at least one congressman.
