Loose Change to Loosen Chains

About Me

I'm Zach and I am an abolitionist.I'm 15 and started the campaign when I was in 7th grade. I hope you'll join me! This is not my personal Myspace page, but instead is a page for the campaign LC2LC. I founded Loose Change to Loosen Chains because I felt a need to do something to bring freedom to the victims I was learning about. LC2LC is a group of students and emerging leaders who want to see the trade in human beings stopped. Modern-day slavery may be people working in brick kilns, rice mills, fishing villages or brothels.Together we can make a difference. Let's abolish slavery!I have looked into organizations working to fight slavery and have several I can recommend. They each take a little different approach, but are all worth your support. You can launch the LC2LC effort and send your contributions directly to them. See the list below in the Interest box.My parents help me manage this site and I don't have a personal MySpace page. The fight to end slavery is more than 200 years old -- that age isn't available through MySpace's profile selection. When the message load is heavy, my parents and other adults help me get back to people quickly. I really appreciate your support and encouragement. If we all work together we can make a difference.If you want to launch LC2LC, message me and I'll send you the tools to get started.
