According to the United Nations, 4 billion people live outside the protection of the law. That means that their public justice systems, police, courts, and laws, are so broken, corrupt and dysfunctional, that there is nothing to shield them from violence. For poor people throughout the developing world, this is everyday life. No defense. No protection. Nothing to hold back violence. Not just the violence that makes the headlines like war or genocide— but common, criminal violence: Slavery, Sex Trafficking, Sexual Violence, Police Brutality, Property Grabbing, Citizens Rights Abuse. We’re inspired every day by the students, parents, leaders and families who have made justice their mission. From students to senators, pastors to police officers– we’re privileged to support, learn from and work alongside people like you to build this movement. Come stand for freedom with the International Justice Mission chapter at CNU! We will be standing in shifts for 24 hours to raise money and awareness to end injustices such as sex trafficking, forced labor, and police brutality. We will have interactive art activities, educational displays, and free food for those who stand with us. Stand For Freedom 2016 is all about doing what you can to help bring rescue to those trapped in slavery. Our goal together is to support 20 rescue operations. Let's work together! Together we can help end slavery for good. We hope to see you there!
