I found this article today on the International Justice Ministries website.
"“Freedom,” a new two-disc album that supports IJM’s frontline work. Packed with new and never-before-released material from top-40, Dove- and Grammy-award winning artists, the album has already become one of the fastest-selling records in exclusive distributor Family Christian Stores’ history." - IJM

Above is the link to the website though I suspect it may change.
So there is one response to how musicians might end injustice. Compile an album and donate cash to the folks doing the work.

What to do?
My first post since my summer music projects class in 2010.
A few minutes ago I read this article
http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/146932/modern_day_slavery_in_america_--_over_300,000_u.s._children_fall_prey_to_sex_trafficking/?page=entire
about children falling into the U.S. sex slave trade. That's plain awful. But I hear it's happening all around the world. One of my trumpet teachers back in high school, a former Navy music school instructor, had this bumper sticker that read: Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
But what can I do to end child-trafficking?
I've got some time before I get into my career. I'll be earning my Master' Degree in music education at the Crane school of Music until 2012 so I've got plenty of time to ponder these issues. Even then, what can a musician or music teacher do to end child-slavery, trafficking and prostitution?
