Resources:

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) sponsors the
Blue Heart Campaign against human trafficking.

The Blue Heart represents the sadness of those who are trafficked
while reminding us of the cold-heartedness of those who buy and sell
fellow human beings. The use of the blue UN color also demonstrates
the commitment of the United Nations to combating this crime
against human dignity.

By wearing the Blue Heart you raise awareness of this crime
and join the campaign to fight it.
Materials and more information on the Blue Heart campaign
can be found at www.unodc.org/blueheart.

The Intercommunity Peace and Justice Center
provides updates on current and pending U.S. legislation.
On the site you may customize e-letters to legislators and
pass information along to colleagues.

Contacting the Congress is a site that provides complete up-to-date information on each senator and representative, their addresses,
