FREE TO BE

...Not for Sale is a campaign of students, entrepreneurs, artists, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers, united to fight the global slave trade.

Every single person has a skill that they can give to free an individual living in bondage.

COMMUNITIES OF FAITH STANDING AGAINST SLAVERY

Free to Be aims to galvanize people of faith to join a new generation of abolitionists who stand in solidarity with those whose voice has been silenced by the chains of bondage. Historically, the roots of abolition have sprouted from within religious communities. Driven by deep religious conviction, William Wilberforce fought to make slavery illegal 200 years ago in Britain. With this fresh in mind, it is time to stand again.

In recognition of the important role that individuals of faith, churches, synagogues, ashrams, and temples can play in fighting modern day slavery, we encourage people of all religious backgrounds to take action to become modern-day abolitionists.

We will be launching our Abolitionist Church Network, please check back soon!!

Resource:LEARN HOW YOUR CHURCH CAN FIGHT GLOBAL SLAVERY

Over the past year, Not for Sale has been greatly encouraged by the response from churches and faith communities across the United States towards the issue of human trafficking. In less than a year, over 2500 congregations have verbally committed themselves ‘Abolitionist Churches’, affirming their stance against modern day slavery in all its forms and declaring their unity with those that are oppressed. In conversations with leaders across denominations, the biggest question we continue to hear is “what can our church do to make a difference right now?”

In response, we at the Not for Sale Campaign humbly offer a plan of action toward effectively changing the sociological, environmental, political and economic factors that allow human trafficking and slavery to continue, both in your region and around the world.
