Ashton Kutcher delivers passionate speech on modern slavery in Senate hearing

2017-02-15 3

Ashton Kutcher knows how to use his A-list status to make a positive impact. On Wednesday, Kutcher testified at a hearing at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the hopes of ending modern slavery and human trafficking. I’m here today to defend the right to pursue happiness. It’s a simple notion...But the right to pursue happiness, for so many, is stripped away. It’s raped. It’s abused. It’s taken by force, fraud, or coercion. It is sold for the momentary happiness of another. Although he is a Hollywood actor and total heartthrob, Kutcher made it clear that his role at Thorn and being a father of two are his true callings. “Technology can be used to enable slavery, but it can also be used to disable slavery,” he told the senators.
