David Batstone (Not For Sale) with Cody's Books March 20, 2007

Tuesday, March 20 - David Batstone
7:30 PM at First Congregational Church of Berkeley

DAVID BATSTONE profiles the new generation of 21st-century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human trafficking in NOT FOR SALE: The Return of the Global Slave Trade - and How We Can Fight It, while calling readers to action with practical ideas that empower individuals and their communities to join the campaign for human freedom. Jim Wallis writes, "David Batstone in the most compelling way tells the stories of those bound in slavery today and the modern-day abolitionists working tirelessly to to end it. Not for Sale is a must read to see how you can join the fight", and Bono writes, "Dave Batstone is a heroic character", while T-Bone Burnett notes, "It is staggering how little is known about this epidemic criminal enterprise. The idea that human slavery is rampant in the twenty-first century is mind blowing. We are all called to join this fight." David Batstone is professor of ethics at the University of San Francisco and is the author of Saving the Corporate Soul & (Who Knows?) Maybe Your Own. For the last six years, Batstone was executive editor of Sojourners magazine and the creator of the SojoMail e-zine. He also serves as senior editor of the business magazine, Motto, and was a cofounder of Business 2.0 magazine.
