News and video from the American Anti-Slavery Group:
The Co-Founder of Sudan Freedom Walk and our Associate Simon Deng has almost completed his latest initiative to bring attention to Sudan. On November 9 Simon, an escaped Sudanese slave and human rights activist, began walking barefoot (in solidarity with his brothers and sisters in Sudan) through Congress. Simon is committed to visiting the offices of each and every congress person to make sure Sudan remains on the agenda of American people and leaders.

Tomorrow Simon is meeting with Congressman Trent Franks. To learn more about Simon's walk through Congress please click here.
