This summer, 15 people are giving 5 weeks to cycle 1800 miles of the Underground Railroad. Join us for a night of hope and support as the 5 Weeks for Freedom riders arrive in Columbus, OH, on July 24.

The event will feature Ohio State University athletes, the 5 Weeks for Freedom riders and local heroes bringing the fight against trafficking to Columbus. View a screening of acclaimed “rockumentary” Call + Response – to learn more about the issue, and hear from local anti-trafficking leaders and IJM staff what you can do to get involved in today’s abolition movement .

Because slavery has been defeated once. Because it can be defeated again - Join us.
