FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland, Oregon (10.26.11) – Gillian Zinser has answered Shoe Revolt's question, "What shoes do you have that kick sex trafficking to the curb?"

Gillian Zinser donated a pair of Senso pale green pumps from her personal closet to Shoe Revolt, an Oregon nonprofit that fights commercial sex trafficking in the U.S. through shoes. The pair is on sale now for $300.00 – a steal for these stylish, autographed heels!

Zinser studied at New York University before landing appearances on hit shows such as Southland, Cold Case, and Cupid. Gillian also starred in the MTV television film, The Truth Below, and was in the independent thriller Liars All opposite her new 90210 co-star, Matt Lanter. Currently, Gillian resides in both New York and California as she plays her biggest role yet, the carefree Ivy Sullivan on The CW's 90210. Keep an eye out for Zinser this year, as she will star in her first feature film, The Truth Below. Gillian can definitely be considered a philanthropic celebrity. She is regularly involved in Artists for Peace and Justice, which included taking a trip to Haiti to rebuild a school, and Hugh Jackman's Live Below the Line Campaign, to help end severe poverty. Now she is helping to eradicate commercial sex trafficking by donating to Shoe Revolt.

Shoe Revolt takes donations of shoes and sells them on their online boutique to raise funds for programs that support survivors of commercial sex trafficking. The executive director of one of those programs, Vashti's Voice, explains what having Shoe Revolt's support means, "I am excited and grateful that Shoe Revolt is raising funds for our program. I think people need to be aware that this crime is happening in every neighborhood, not just those in less affluent areas. People tend to feel disconnected and unmoved because they do not acknowledge the presence of this crime in their own domains."
