Freedom Fortnight – Moving Beyond Awareness

Overview

Have you ever thought, “I want to do something to fight slavery today, but I don’t know how?” Well, look no further. Freedom United works to help those interested in–and perhaps intimidated by–the fight against modern slavery to find their space in this movement.

Starting on April 23, Freedom United is hosting Freedom Fortnight, a two-week online event to help you move beyond awareness as we break modern slavery down for you and build you up. Over fourteen days, we will focus on specific aspects of anti-trafficking, introducing you to people, organizations and initiatives making a difference.

Celebrate progress, connect with others who care, and take specific actions to help stop modern slavery & human trafficking.

We will be sharing interviews with various professionals working for anti-trafficking organizations, and challenging participants to take concrete action. Freedom Fortnight begins on April 23, 2018. Sign up now to get Freedom Fortnight messages!

Then, sign up for our Thunderclap, which will amplify the message of Freedom Fortnight on social media. It’s a quick and easy way to spread the word!

Chip in and help end modern slavery once and for all.

Freedom United is interested in hearing from our community and welcomes relevant, informed comments, advice, and insights that advance the conversation around our campaigns and advocacy. We value inclusivity and respect within our community. To be approved, your comments should be civil.

A few things we do not tolerate: comments that promote discrimination, prejudice, racism, or xenophobia, as well as personal attacks or profanity. We screen submissions in order to create a space where the entire Freedom United community feels safe to express and exchange thoughtful opinions.

Sickening that slavery still permeates society, it manifests from the very top down, tormenting people & children, to lives of hellish daily misery. It has to be DEALT WITH, every way possible

As a member of the Board of Directors for Abolition Institute and advocate with the Justice Watch Team of Trinity United Church of Christ – Chicago, I am delighted to see Freedom United supporting this timeless charge. It is saddening to recognize that chattel slavery, sex trafficking and other forms of bondage continue in this 21st Century era. Yet! It is up to each one of us to take a bold stand in defiance against these inhumane actions in order to bring them to a screeching halt!

Slavery is curse as God has created human, with freedom of mind and given choice to adopt what ever he like

Buenos días, mi nombre es Ana y vivo en México. Me gustaría que pensáramos acerca de lo absurdo de remunerar los trabajos en forma tan desigual. Es verdaderamente tonto que el trabajo de una persona dedicada a la administración de una oficina se le pague 100 o más veces más que a un campesino. Porque pensemos, para qué sirve pasar papeles de un lado a otro?. El que vive en el campo, cultiva y produce comida para otros debe ser valorado.
