Response to Freedom Sunday at Calvin Church
|
|
$3000 given to combatting slavery in Seattle and Cambodia |
| |
On Freedom Sunday, the redeeming power of God was proclaimed at Calvin Church, and prayers of confession and supplication ( Freedom Sunday Litany) were offered on behalf of trafficking victims and perpetrators.
Participants in Freedom Sunday at Calvin gave approximately $3000 toward anti-trafficking efforts in Seattle and Cambodia, and committed to distributing anti-trafficking information at all the gas stations situated near eleven exits along I-90.
The relationship between fair trade and the abolition of slavery was introduced through this video from Trade As One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JfGki00T0c.
If you are interested in learning more about how to help Seattle become a Fair Trade City, check out the Fair Trade Seattle campaign.
Volunteers are needed in the areas of fair trade marketing, local business engagement, public awareness and recruitment, faith-based outreach, and on the street and social networking teams. Email seattlefairtradecity@gmail.com if you're interested in learning more.
