FREEDOM WEEK
is a week-long initiative March 25-29, 2012 at the University of Northern Iowa coordinated by Christian student organizations in partnership with the wider community. Freedom Week’s purpose is to create a movement of people committed to: 1) Bringing awareness of the injustices of modern-day slavery and 2) Seeking ways to restore justice locally and globally.
CAPSTONE EVENT: Thursday, March 29th at 8pm in Lang Hall Auditorium
We will have a dynamic guest speaker, York Moore, a modern-day abolitionist . He will speak on the the social, spiritual and economic forces behind modern-day slavery.
*FREE THE GIRLS: Help girls who have survived trafficking gain a living from selling used bras. If you have some you would like to donate, bring them on Wednesday, March 28th from 10am-2pm outside the Union or at the Capstone Event, Thursday, March 29th at 8pm. Click here for more information. Sponsored by BASIC.
While Freedom Week is being coordinated by Christian organizations, we hope to partner as a whole university community to join us regardless of faith tradition.
