Walk for Freedom

This is the third annual A21 Walk for Freedom in Hagerstown to raise awareness of human trafficking.  It is an international event.  Thousands from around the world in many cities are walking on this same day!  It is a walk of silence.  Participants wear black and walk single file as a group.

A21’s mission is to end modern day slavery.  A21 is “a nonprofit organization fueled by radical hope that human beings everywhere will be rescued from bondage and completely restored.  They are the abolitionists of the 21st century who work to free slaves and disrupt the demand.  Human trafficking is destroying lives, but freedom will have the final word.”

The local goal this year is to raise $3000.  All funds raised go to A21.  Registration can be done on-line in advance or on the day of the walk at the Discovery Station, 101 West Washington Street, beginning at 9am.  (No donation is required to join the walk.  Donations can be made by check payable to A21.)
