Dear Khani,

Today is Anti-Slavery Day in Europe, and we’re inviting you to an event that will explore the shocking truth of just how real the legacy of historical slavery deeply impacts many people alive in the U.S. today.

As we mark this important day, we can’t help thinking that whilst the historical abolition movement is celebrated, slavery is still legal in the United States. So, we hope you’ll join us for a critical discussion as two states decide whether slavery should be abolished with no exceptions.

Join us on Wednesday October 30 at 12:00 p.m. ET.* Register today!

Reserve your spot

We are just weeks away from an exciting opportunity for voters in California and Nevada to do just that! During the Presidential elections, voters in these states will have a unique item on their ballots: to keep or remove involuntary servitude from their state constitutions.

Join us at this critical moment as we sit down with an expert from Walk Free, publisher of the Global Slavery Index, and an advocate with experience of the prison system from California's Prop 6 campaign [1] to explain these often-ignored legacies and to discuss the implications of this election for the broader national movement to abolish slavery in the U.S. once and for all.

Register today

Anti-Slavery Day reminds us that the fight against all forms of slavery is ongoing—register today to explore what we can all do to challenge and change systems that perpetuate modern slavery.

Don’t miss it!

*5pm U.K., 6pm CET. To find the time where you are select your time zone on the registration page.

In solidarity,

Krysta and the team that supports the Freedom United community

P.S. Would you like your question to be included in the discussion? Ensure it is by sending it to us here.

[1] Prop 6: Also known as ACA 8, this California ballot measure proposes to remove language from the state constitution that permits involuntary servitude as punishment for crime.
