“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” -Fredrick Douglas
The need for Abolitionists is greater now than ever before. With human trafficking growing as a trade, we need more warriors now than ever before to confidently stand for those who have lost their voice. Three of the main ways you can join the fight of modern day slavery are through your time, talents, and donations.
Time: Time is a valuable thing and Redeem The Shadows promises not to take your time for granted. Tasks as simple as raising awareness through e-mails, Facebook, Twitter, and local events can quickly help eliminate ignorance, which has continued to prevail. With time being of the essence, there is never enough hands for the labor. Volunteering with Redeem The Shadows is an excellent way to fight social injustice and boldly step forward in your belief that everyone deserves to live a life full of freedom.
Talents: The truth is, we all are gifted at something. Some of us may be great public speakers, students, graphic designers, artists, photographers, office workers, parents, or writers, and in a fight as great as this, anything you are good at can be used for this cause. Using your talents is a way to glorify God and find an important purpose worth fighting and living for.
Donations: Like any war, the war against slavery is a costly one. Redeem The Shadows is entirely funded by donations, and therefore, any donation is greatly appreciated whether big or small. With dreams as big as ours, we need several supporters to partner with us either through giving one time donations or monthly support. If you are interested in donating, please click on the donate to RTS box on the right of your screen from the home page or contact us with any questions. We ask that you please give towards the fight of modern day slavery if the faces of the oppressed and destitute have touched your heart today. Share this info with others and always remember that there are precious people living in chains today who will never have the chance to live a life full of happiness, joy and freedom if you sit back, and do nothing. Do something by supporting Redeem The Shadows today!
Feel free to contact us and let us know what you may be interested in helping with!
