This Sunday with an event at the Friends Church campus in Yorba Linda, Calif., members and supporters will launch the NOT TODAY Coalition, a non-profit organization that seeks to end human trafficking in India.
The event will be held at the Friends Church campus in Yorba Linda, Calif. at noon, and will feature special guest Joseph D'souza, president of the Dalit Freedom Network in India, as well as various multimedia presentations. The Coalition takes its name from NOT TODAY -- the movie, a feature-length film, which released earlier this year, produced by Friends Media, highlighting the plight of human trafficking in India. Joseph D'souza is available for media interviews, as is Brent Martz, producer of NOT TODAY.

A Christian 501(c)3 organization, the NOT TODAY Coalition is seeking to provide education to half a million Dalit children in order to bring an end to human trafficking in India. The group aims to build 1,000 schools throughout India by the year 2025. Friends Church has already funded more than 40 schools. The coalition asks supporters to purchase the bricks used to build the schools, via their website at NotTodayCoalition.org.
The film NOT TODAY hit theaters in April, and stars Cody Longo (Hollywood Heights, Fame, Make It or Break It), John Schneider (OCTOBER BABY, Smallville, The Dukes of Hazzard), Shari Rigby (OCTOBER BABY, The Bold and the Beautiful), and Cassie Scerbo (Make It or Break It, Hot in Cleveland). NOT TODAY will release on DVD, Digital Download and On Demand on August 6th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Proceeds from NOT TODAY support the NOT TODAY Coalition.
"NOT TODAY is the first feature-length, faith-based film to confront human trafficking, a global crisis," said Martz. "It's entertainment, yes. But entertainment with world-changing purpose."
