UALR’s Office of Campus Life, in partnership with the nonprofit organization Not For Sale, is sponsoring three programs Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 26 and 27, to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

The “Stop Paying for Slavery Tour” will include program, “Slavery Mapping 101” at noon Tuesday, Oct. 26, in the Donaghey Student Center’s Ledbetter Hall A. The event will provide information about the many types of human trafficking. Participants also will learn how to research existing cases of modern-day slavery.

At 6:30 p.m. also in Ledbetter Hall A, the tour continues with a 90-minute program implementing fast-past multimedia, video, live performances, stories, and reports from around the globe.

At noon Wednesday, Oct. 27 in the Donaghey Student Center’s Leadership Lounge, a dynamic presentation “Free2Work” aims to introduce the next generation of business leaders to supply chain monitoring programs and how the power of social entrepreneurship can help; in the fight against human trafficking.

The events are part of Campus Life’s “Power of Women” programming series. All programs are free and open to the public.

The Not For Sale Campaign was co-founded by University of San Francisco ethics professor, David Batstone, now president, and Mark Wexler, now executive director.

Batstone is the author of seven books, the most recent ones “Not For Sale,” published by HarperOne; and “Saving the Corporate Soul,” published by Jossey-Bass.

He is a member of the founding team of Business 2.0 magazine and served six years as executive editor of Sojourners magazine and founder of the SojoMail e-zine. In Not For Sale, David oversees the strategic and financial opportunities, growth, and direction of Not For Sale Campaign.  He often represents Not For Sale during the Stop Paying for Slavery Tour and co-teaches the entrepreneur course content in Not For Sale Academy.

Wexler found his vocational direction while working on the streets of Durban, South Africa, with Umthombo Street Children. His time in Southern Africa provided the learning space to help build the conceptual and material framework to combat modern-day slavery.

As executive director of Not For Sale, Wexler coordinates and sustains strategic partnership agreements with other institutions and co-teaches an investigator course content in the Not For Sale Academy. His knowledge of the organization and modern day slavery is unparalleled and he represents Not for Sale at speaking engagements around the world.
