Syracuse has a long history and legacy as a community that has stood against slavery as far back as the 1800's through our participation in the Underground Railroad and the Jerry Rescue. We are calling on Central New Yorkers to once again band together and become Freedom Makers as we partner with International Justice Mission (IJM) a world renowned human rights agency. Schools, organizations, businesses, churches and individuals are joining CNY Freedom Makers to raise awareness about the human trafficking industry and to provide funding for a comprehensive justice initiative through IJM in a community in Southeast Asia where sex trafficking is rampant.
