Rosi Orozco, Mira Sorvino, Rachel Lloyd, Swanee Hunt, and Siddhartha Kara joined Richard Quest for a discussion on modern slavery in conjunction with CNN. The speakers addressed topics ranging from sex trafficking in the U.S. to international slave labor. The event, as part of the CNN Freedom Project, encouraged participation in the movement to raise awareness of the prevalence of the slavery problem, both within the U.S. and abroad, by writing issue-advancing pledges on paper airplanes, and then nominating others to make a pledge via social media posts.
