The Student Abolitionist Movement is a network of students fighting to end modern-day slavery.

The movement bridges students and ideas in efforts to combat human trafficking in solidarity. SAM provides students with key programs and resources to educate, advocate, and take action for the end of the global slave trade.

Learn more about the
NFS Think Tank

Are you interested in performing original, groundbreaking research with a purpose? Contribute to the NFS Think Tank or Academy White Papers and help Not For Sale solve real challenges facing the modern-day abolitionist movement.

Students at the University of San Francisco focused their year-long studies on the issue of human trafficking. The class was divided into four research groups to analyze social justice issues that address root causes for human trafficking: Environmentalism, Supply Chains, Citizenship & Human Rights, and Sustainable Development. Each group was tasked with resolving a concrete challenge that currently impedes the efforts of the anti-trafficking movement. The groups reported their weekly findings on the NFS Think Tank Blog and will submit more formal White Papers at the conclusion of their original research.

Get the Chocolate Campaign
Screening Kit

Host a screening of “The Dark Side of Chocolate” on your campus and sell fair trade, ethically made chocolate bars to educate consumers about the impact of their purchases and raise money to END slavery!

In November 2010, students from Calvary Evangelical Church engaged in an extended Chocolate Campaign. They held multiple screenings of the Dark Side of Chocolate, sold 500 bars of fair trade chocolate, and collected hundreds of signatures asking Hershey to be transparent in the sourcing of their cocoa beans, and begin sourcing Fair Trade Certified Cocoa.
