WALK FOR FREEDOM 2017 O
n Saturday 14th October, a global anti-trafficking organization called A21, will be hosting the 4th Annual Walk for Freedom in Plymouth.
The purpose of the walk is to raise awareness about the millions of men, women, and children who are still trapped in slavery today. By fundraising and rallying thousands of people around the cause, the belief is that this event will be the catalyst for the rescue and restorationof human beings who are being exploited as comedies. Walk For Freedom is distinctly recognised by it’s participants who are in single file lines, wearing black shirts and yelow bandanas across their mouths. You’ll see these lines in places all over the world- from in front of the Eiffel Tower in France, to along the Hollywood Walk of Fame in America.
The Plymouth walk will start and end at Mutley Baptist Church on Mutley Plain. All are welcome to join the walk it is free and you can register at A21.org or just turn up on the day. Registration starts at 10am the walk will set off at 10:30am. “We are utterly convinced that slavery can be eradicated in our lifetime. Walk For Freedom is definitely one of the most impacting things that we do at A21. It is a tangible, practical, and doable thing for every single person. All od us can put our feet on the pavement and use our steps to make a difference” -Christine Caine- A21’s Founder
