Bridge Academy student learns how to maintain driving lane position through RAD School, North Idaho.

    My name is Benjamin Ferguson. I am 16 years of age and attend Bridge Academy in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I enjoy art, music, and fighting in a controlled environment.
    The most prominent thing I learned in the drive today was a clearer understanding of how to use the steering wheel to mark the path that your vehicle will travel.  When using this technique, in my opinion, it makes continuing to stay in you lane positions easier, while traveling in a straight line.  In order to use this tracking technique, you must first find the top of your steering wheel. Second, point the top of your steering wheel in the direction you want to travel. Third, fine tune where you point your steering wheel to a precise target within your desired lane position; stay on target to maintain position.

RAD's learning to Drive out slavery with T-shirts. Graduated driving students from Cd'A, Idaho and RAD owners, Rathdrum, Idaho, drive to learn about anti-human trafficking strategies.

Where will your adventure take you?!

• Our adventure has taken us across the country to learn about modern slavery abolition!
• 
  
• RAD drove 3,275.1 miles to attend a three-day school about abolishing modern slavery!

• Some of you have been in Mr. McKibbin's junior high history classes over the years, where we learned about slavery and the historical struggle for freedom throughout the world. 

• Now, we're here at SoulFest, in Gilford, New Hampshire--and yes!--we're learning about how to actually prevent, document, and stop slavery today!

• Last night, after the Switchfoot concert--by the way, they are very big fans of Not For Sale and the movement to re-abolish slavery!--we hung out in the back stage after-party to discuss how to be effective abolitionists.  

Here's one way! T-shirts!

• We're learning how to develop accountability in supply chains--that's right!--the stuff some of you students and I discussed years ago about t-shirts being made in third-world country slave sweat shops; then hiked, shipped, and trucked for you to buy at the store.
• Bad news, most cotton throughout the world is picked by hand, most of that by children, who do not get to go to school.
• Good news, there are companies that can prove they do not use any slave labor in their t-shirts, from the cotton farmers and pickers to the manufacturers!
• So, graduated driving school students are discussing with us strategies for being smart in how we buy the products we need, so that we help rather than hurt others.
• More good news, RAD is working to make those shirts available to you!
• We'll keep you posted!
