[Jewish] Jewish Social Justice/Tikun Olam organizing meeting tomorrow

[Julian Padilla]

i have another meeting and can't attend this one but am very  
interested in the group. i would like to bring the issue of human  
trafficking to the table. modern slavery is a pressing issue (and 1  
billion dollar industry in israel) and raising awareness is  
definitely the first step. i know this may not be the most obvious  
local issue, and indeed i know nothing of trafficking in the area,  
but it certainly is a national issue. i have a little bit of  
experience on the issue but am interested mostly in learning as a  
community what is going on and different ways to abolish it.
i hope this can be considered, thanks
