Wearing Red X’s to End Slavery – Daystar Supports the End It Movement

BEDFORD, Texas - Feb. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Marcus and Joni Lamb, Founders of Daystar Television Network, are wearing red x’s on their hands today in support of Shine a Light on Slavery Day and the End It Movement – a group dedicated to raising awareness for the 27 million men, women and children who are trapped in slavery in the world today.

On Wednesday, February 26, Louie Giglio, Director of the Passion Movement and supporter of the End It Movement, was a guest on Daystar’s flagship show, “Marcus and Joni,” where he shared the importance of Shine a Light on Slavery Day.  “Awareness isn’t everything but it is the first step in ending slavery in our generation,” says Giglio, “and we are raising our voice.”

Shine a Light on Slavery Day is something that anyone can take part in simply by placing a red x on their hand. So many are oblivious to the severity of this issue, and the red x will serve as a means of informing others. “Millions of people – athletes, celebrities, college students, moms – will be raising their voice by putting a red x on their hand,” explained Giglio.

“We can do something about it,” says Marcus Lamb, Founder and CEO of Daystar Television Network, “We have to raise our voice, we have to raise awareness and we can start by putting a red x on our hands.”

Daystar has long supported the abolition of human slavery across the nation and around the world. The network has been involved in programs such as the A21 Campaign, Stella’s Voice, You Can Free Us and many others. Recently, the Daystar team spent time in Kolkata, India, where they had the opportunity to fully fund a medical clinic in the red light district, offering free care to victims of human trafficking. This clinic acts as a catalyst for reaching out to the victims, building bonds with them, and bridging the gap between slavery and rescue.
