about india justice 08

In 2006, 550 Indian workers were trafficked to the US after Hurricane Katrina.
In 2008, they escaped from labor camps, walked to Washington and launched a hunger strike for justice… now, over 20 of these Guest Workers who triggered a high-profile federal investigation into human trafficking, have been targeted by a raid carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, near Fargo, North Dakota.
It is in the middle of this, that I have been given the privilege to travel as a supporter, ally, and advocate first to Delhi, to participate in an event at Constitution Hall targeting Supreme Court Advocates in India, and later to visit families’ homes in Kerala.

  1. Hey. I’m praying for you while you’re there. I know God is going to use you mightily there to help these men and their families. To shine your light into their dark moments. Stay safe and make sure to look after yourself too.

  2. Hi Bincy, keep up the good work. You and the workers are in my thoughts.
