Google announced that it has donated $11.5 million to coalitions around the world to help both fight slavery and help those currently enslaved find rescue and freedom.
I think it’s wonderful that such a large organisation seemingly disconnected to social issues takes up a cause like this. It should not be up to governments and NGOs to fight for issues on our behalf as we can take more practical action too. I wrote a post some time ago, Cup of Delight, about the famous china company, Wedgewood and the brave anti-slavery campaigning that they did against black slavery at a time when it was extremely unpopular and there was no such thing as political activism.
Bravo.
