People of faith live new futures in the rich expanse of God, and create new futures for the vulnerable and survivors of modern-day slavery.
People of faith have a special role to play when it comes to the work of abolition: freeing slaves and creating a world where survivors can thrive. We will assist you to grow a thriving abolitionist program in your backyard by providing platforms for active engagement.

How The Faith Community Makes A Difference
Think of what would happen if churches, synagogues, and mosques in every community prayed and preached against slavery. Imagine what would happen if missionaries and religious workers sent from every faith community networked within their countries to be a force against trafficking. Think of what would happen if leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu communities of faith dialogued about the evils of slavery and strategized about how to work together despite the differences to end slavery.
The Abolitionist Faith Community is dynamic. We bring ideas, dreams, resources, and questions to this platform. What ideas do you have?
