There have been several exciting updates from International Justice Mission in October!

• On October 6th slaves in a rock quarry in Chennai, India were freed by a joint operation with IJM and local authorities.  Read the entire story here to find out how one man’s debt of $10 led to slavery for him and his family for 15 years.
• Another two operations in conjunction with local authorities in the Philippines on October 25 & 27th freed 16 victims of sex slavery, secured the arrest of 5 traffickers and made headlines in the Philippines.
• To find out more about how you can support IJM’s work check out their website.  $5 from the sale for our Freedom Tote is also donated to IJM!

IJM also creates great resources to educate you and your friends about the struggle against modern slavery.  They have recently released a brand new documentary called At the End of Slavery: A Battle for Justice in our Time. Order a copy and host a home screening to learn more about slavery, the hope that exists today and how you can get involved.  November 14-15 is IJM’s Weekend to End Slavery.  People always ask me what they can do to make a difference and this is an easy way to start! The more people know about slavery the stronger we become in the fight.  If you can’t do it the weekend of November 14-15th that doesn’t matter – just do it.  I’m excited to get my copy!

If history has shown us that the monster of slavery assumes new forms, it has also shown us that its oppressive systems crumble in the face of those who heartily oppose them. It is our collective responsibility to oppose slavery in the time given to us. History is on our side. – At the End of Slavery *WATCH THE TRAILER*
