Morning Keynote - Brittney Thomas, MPH, is a fellow abolitionist and a leading voice in the fight against human trafficking.  Having survived one of the nation’s deadliest school shootings, Brittney developed an untamed passion for social justice issues across the globe and in her own backyard!  Brittney is the Kentucky state director for the “Not For Sale Campaign,” a non-profit organization that seeks to equip and mobilize Smart Activists to deploy innovative solutions to re-abolish slavery in their own backyards and across the globe. She has been interviewed by Tricia Goyer from “Living Inspired” and been published alongside notable authors such as Robin Jones Gunn, Shaunti Feldhahn, and Debbie Macomber.  She was the recipient of the 2010 Kentucky Liberation Award and currently serves on the Lexington Fayette County Human Trafficking Taskforce.  Brittney is also a member of the American Public Health Association.  Brittney lives in Lexington, Kentucky where she enjoys teaching Sunday school and is actively involved with various grass-root organizations in her community.  For more information about Brittney and her work, please visit her website at www.facebook.com/notforsaleky.
