10/15: Speaker Series Live on Facebook: Modern Day Abolitionist Aaron Cohen the "Slave Hunter"

Black Card Circle Foundation is pleased to present Aaron Cohen, author of "Slave Hunter" and founder of Abolish Slavery. Mr. Cohen will be answering your questions about Modern Day Slavery, Human Trafficking and how to get involved in the contemporary abolitionist movement via live video on facebook!

From his California rock-star life in the company of legendary musicians, co-founding Lollapalooza, and a successful career in the music industry all the way to the war zones, refugee camps, and brothels of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East— Aaron has taken on treacherous rescue missions in search of modern-day slaves, and lays bare the secrets behind trafficking networks.

The search for justice and freedom for slaves has lead Cohen into the shantytowns of Cambodia and the hidden brothels of Ecuador, across the sweltering savannahs of Sudan, up to the Dalai Lama’s Himalayan retreat, through the unforgiving jungles of Burma and the deserts of Iraq. At a time when more people than ever before are enslaved somewhere on the planet, Aaron Cohen is a slave hunter—working to find and free human beings from various forms of bondage.

Please join us for a live Q & A with Aaron hosted by Comedian Ben Morrison (Punk'd and A Cause for Comedy)! This is the first interview in our live facebook Speaker Series.
