Note - this issue is very important for the Seattle area because this city has one of the highest amount of human trafficking (also known as "domestic slavery") cases in Northern America because it is a port city. 

6. List of petitions that advocate for immigrant issues - you can review the list of petitions, then click on the option that appeals to you most:
http://www.change.org/topics/humanrights
This topic is important in the lgbtq community because so many lgbtq immigrants, particularly people that do not speak English as a first language, face multiple forms of discrimination, including homophobia, racism, and, or course ageism as they grow older, particularly if they are not able to legally marry. 

Thank you all for considering reviewing these petitions.  I really appreciate it.
