It can be both infuriating and paralyzing to learn of the overwhelming number of people currently being sold as victims of human trafficking, and that traffickers are targeting vulnerable youth online during the COVID-19 pandemic. You may wonder, "Where do I fit in the efforts to put an end to human trafficking, especially in these unprecedented times?"
This year’s theme for the Richmond Justice Initiative’s (RJI) annual Benefit for Freedom is “Educate to Eradicate,” signifying the life-changing power of education to prevent human trafficking. RJI, through our national award-winning Prevention Project™ curriculum, equips participants with awareness, protection, and thus, freedom! We need your support more than ever as we face new challenges in educating vulnerable youth to protect themselves from traffickers and as our programs are growing in demand! You can be the reason why someone's life is saved from human trafficking by partnering with us in making a donation!
We invite you to join us for the 2021 Benefit for Freedom national virtual event on August 12, 2021, at 7:00 PM EST as we celebrate 63,000 lives that have been impacted by our human trafficking prevention solutions since 2009. You help make this impact possible by believing in a future free of human trafficking and taking action to help create it. We will be featuring student interviews, entertainment, and a much-anticipated raffle drawing for five baskets with over $1,000 worth of prizes EACH!
