onevoice benefit concert/art auction

We are starting a benefit/awareness concert series in Kansas City regarding the issue of human trafficking. The goal of these concerts would be to creatively raise funds for safe houses that help restore the lives of those who have been trafficked and to be a collective voice for one of the greatest injustices of our generation.

The first concert will be focused on the issue of slavery in the chocolate industry. Through live music, art, and film we will shed light on this dark issue and educate people on how to consume in a socially responsible way.

The event would be Sunday April 5th and include a film, a bands and a art auction with all proceeds going to www. just4one. org and www. homesoffreedom. org

Bellow are some links that you can check out to get a better idea of the issue.

Much of the chocolate that finds its way into our shops and homes is made with cocoa from Ivory Coast plantations that use trafficked chil-dren. To find out what you can do to end this sickening practice visit the website below and come to the event. www.stopthetraffiick.org www.onevoicetoendslavery.com
The event will include a film, two bands (Fox and the Forest and Oh Blessed Thought) and an art auction with all proceeds going to www. just4one. org and www.stopthetraffik.org.

Regarding the pieces with chocolate, they have two signatures -- and chocolate. The chocolate was made by Johnny Iuzzini www.johnnyiuzzini.com , and he co-signed the art. He is widely regarded as being the most influential pastry chef on the planet. (I'm not making that up.) A James Beard Foundation Award-winner, he is currently the executive pastry chef at Jean-Georges in New York City.
