We are also excited to announce the launch of Pennies for Freedom. Abraham Lincoln, the face of the penny, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, leading to the abolition of slavery in the United States. Today, we are still fighting against human trafficking, or modern-day slavery in the United States. Help us support modern-day emancipation by donating your pennies and other change to Freedom House, a shelter home for survivors of human trafficking. Bring your pennies and other change to the party |
