Justice Is The Movement

About Me

Justice Is The Movement is a group of elementary students, junior highers, high schoolers, college students, and adults that has banded together to raise awareness about one of the world's biggest - and most horrific - crimes.
Our Message: Modern-day slavery exists. Some 27 million people don't even have the right to call their next breath their own. Preschoolers are enslaved in brothels. Grade schoolers are enslaved in the hand-woven rug/carpet industry. Teenagers are enslaved in cocoa bean plantations. Parents are enslaved in brick kilns. Grandparents are enslaved in rock quarries.
This cuts across all age groups, ethnicities, countries, social statuses, and industries. There is no mercy - and often, no escape - for the trapped. But . . .
You have the resources to free people from slavery. You have the creativity to raise awareness. You have the passion to fight for justice against all odds. You have the ability to end this violent assault on human rights.
Our Movement: To wipe out modern-day slavery/human trafficking in our lifetime. To see every single person held in bondage set free, rehabilitated, and thriving. To support the many organizations that are doing an amazing work fighting for freedom.
Our Method: Raise awareness through writing letters, blogging, speaking, donating Not For Sale coffee sleeves to coffee shops, and ad campaigns. Raise money to send to abolitionist groups through Loose Change to Loosen Chains www.lc2lc.org and fundraisers. Raze slavery by selling Fair Trade items, making hats to send to girls in Europe who've been rescued from slavery, and sharing ideas with others on how to prevent slavery, rescue the enslaved, and care for the rescued.

My Interests
