At LaborVoices, we're enabling radical transparency in the global labor market, to help eliminate slavery, trafficking and other labor abuses. We provide workers with the tools to choose decent work, and provide brands—and consumers!—the tools to eliminate abuse from their supply chains.
Rural northeast Mississippi will always hold a special place in my heart. It's where I was born and raised.
I want great workers and great employers around the world to be recognized and rewarded for their full contributions to our global economy. I believe the path toward this goal is to help workers exercise their powers of observation, to help hold recruiters, employers, and everyone else, accountable for their performance.
