Freedom Center encouraged members to join the United Freedom Movement to raise awareness about human trafficking throughout August.

The center is urged by the belief that human trafficking can and will be removed from the city.

Movement

Freedom Center informed members that whether they are avid walkers or runners, they could help in their campaign against human trafficking. They could join in the United for Freedom movement campaign.

The church said they could walk, run, jog, and swim. Participants could also do hiking, cycling, and Zumba. Members could also commit to a plank challenge, as announced on the website.

Whatever members choose, the church said they would set their target and invite others to work with them through fundraising or selecting their form of movement.

How to Get Involved

For the members to join the said campaign, the church noted that they needed to start a team or group. It could be a group of friends or family to have quality time together.

It could also be an excellent opportunity for team building with co-workers. The church added that groups could make a fun team name and set goals.

Those who want to join even without a team can set personal goals. Members could sign up individually.

The website also emphasized that they value pets in this campaign. Members could register their pets. There would be awards for the best-dressed, highest number of miles, and most money collected.
