11:59 am Human Trafficking, Not For Sale

Leave coffee sleeves in local cafes with human trafficking statistics and a call to action. Leave coasters in bars that display the human trafficking hotline to inform the public of the issue and offer a saving resource to any victim who sees it.
We are excited to announce our entry into Ashoka’s Changemakers Ending Global Slavery: Everyday Heroes Leading the Way collaborative competition. This is a global competition that aims to find holistic, innovative solutions to global slavery by seeking out and recognizing individuals and organizations that raise awareness of slavery’s root causes, liberate those in bonded labor, and reintegrate former slaves into their communities.
Our entry highlights the innovation of SlaveryMap.org, which is rapidly growing thanks to your submissions! By being part of this competition, we have a great opportunity to share our work with leaders in the field, investors, the media, potential partners, and other supporters. Our hope is that such recognition will empower and equip us as an organization in continuing to create and provide more inventive and revolutionary resources to end the plague of global slavery in our world.
The competition winners will be decided by online voting, so the more people we can inspire, the better!
Here’s where we need you:
Our goal is to make it into the judges’ top 12 choices. The greater the feedback and conversations around SlaveryMap, the more our entry will move to the forefront.
If you haven’t checked out SlaveryMap.org, now is the time! Read about incidents of modern-day slavery across the globe or in your hometown. Best of all, YOU can contribute. Research on your own or in a group. Get your friends, family, and coworkers participating in the fight against slavery by posting up incidents as we shine light on this issue. As we add to this growing collective database, those around the world can learn about the reality of trafficking in our world, and join the movement to inspire change.
