% for Freedom
Business leaders are a key part of the movement to end modern slavery. Our business partners give a % of their profits to the Set Free Movement and educate their customers and clients about forced labor.
Sponsor a child through ICCM
Between 600,000-800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year and 50% are minors. When you sponsor a child through ICCM, you’re helping to build their resilience against exploitation and to create a new future.
Human trafficking is the product of broken communities. When you volunteer with a local homeless shelter, youth outreach center, prison ministry, refugee or immigrant support center, or racial reconciliation group, you’re helping to bring healing to your community while also addressing slavery.
Learn about laws pertaining to human trafficking, prostitution, immigration, labor, and child protection. Write to your local political representative and lobby for better legislation.
Study Urban Shalom in a Group
Gather a group of friends to read this discussion book, which unpacks the theology of freedom and offers tangible, hopeful solutions to the problem of modern slavery.
