Jada Pinkett Smith fights human trafficking

Jada Pinkett Smith continued to use her fame for good this week as she spoke to Congress on Tuesday urging them to step up the fight against human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. Jada spoke during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing and shared that she plans to launch a campaign to raise awareness and spur action against human trafficking and slavery, The Associated Press reported. Almost 150 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves in the U.S., the “old monster” of slavery “is still with us,” Jada said.
