5 Weeks for Freedom is a major awareness and advocacy campaign to support International Justice Mission’s work and give a voice to victims of modern-day slavery and other forms of injustice. A team of ordinary people is giving up 5 weeks to cycle 1800 miles of the Underground Railroad – a route that reminds us that change happens when ordinary people do what they can to stop injustice, that the evil of slavery has been defeated once, and that, together, we can do it again.  You can find out more about the campaign here.

Throughout their journey there will be several events at cities along the route – including Cincinnati!  The details of the events are below.  These would definitely be a great way to get involved and tell your friends about human trafficking.
