Make an Impact Monday: A21

Human Trafficking Awareness

Happy Make an Impact Monday! Today’s highlighted organization is A21. This nonprofit is fighting every single day to rescue people from human trafficking. 

Sometimes it can seem that there is no hope in the fight against human trafficking, but that is not true! A21 is making progress in its efforts to end slavery all over the world forever. This organization raises awareness about human trafficking, rescues those in captivity, and helps with rehabilitation after a rescue. Because of A21, mothers and fathers will see their children again. Families will be reunited. What used to seem hopeless and impossible is no longer. You might feel like, “What can I do? I can’t go rescue anyone.” Well, there is a way you can help! 

Number 1.- Support A21 financially. Your money goes directly toward the rescue of those being trafficked. 

Number 2. Join the Walk for Freedom on October 16th. If you are in the metro Atlanta area, you can sign up here to walk with my group. If you are not local to Atlanta, no worries! There are walks all over the world! To locate a walk near you, click here. 

By walking, inviting other people to walk, and sharing why you are walking on social media, you can raise awareness about human trafficking. No, it is not something that only happens across the world. It happens right here in your own back yard. When we raise awareness and get more people involved, we can accomplish so much more. We are able to target hotel owners, traffickers, government officials who look the other way. We are telling them that what they are doing is not going to be tolerated. We will fight for our families, for our sons and daughter, mothers and fathers! Please join us for our walk and send a message to the world that we will not turn a blind eye to to those still in slavery.
