We're up at almost seven billion people on the planet and most of that growth has been in the developing world.

Slavery is what slavery's always been: About one person controlling another person using violence and then exploiting them economically, paying them nothing. That's what slavery's about

It surprises people that there's actually a very large number of slaves in the world today-our best estimate is 27 million. And that is defining a slave in a very narrow way; we're not talking about sweatshop workers or people who are just poor, we're talking about people who are controlled by violence, who cannot walk away, who are being held against their will, who are being paid nothing.

Throughout all of human history slaves have been expensive capital purchase items. And today they're disposal inputs like styrofoam cups to an economic process.

Slavery is an obscenity. It is not just stealing someone's labor; it is the theft of an entire life.

We have to make it clear to the multi-nationals that slavery is too high a price to pay for cheap goods

If our kids were hungry, we'd step into slavery.
