Matt Redman Joins The Movement to End Slavery in 'EnditMovement:' 'Raise your voice. Use your influence. Join the fight for FREEDOM'
Christian worship leader and Contemporary Christian artist Matt Redman joins the Enditmovement to take a stand against slavery.
On Feb. 27 Freedom Fighters unite by drawing a red X on their hands to help shine a light on slavery. Popular inspirational artist Redman is joining the movement. He took to his Social media with a picture holding up his hand with a red X on it to help spread awareness.
"Be in it to END IT. FEBRUARY 27TH. #enditmovement #freedom," he posted with the photo on his Facebook page Tuesday morning.
The Enditmovement has raised over $109,000 in 2014 so far. All Financial donations go directly towards the movements Coalition Partners. Support helps them continue their efforts around the world for freedom.
The sites mission statement reads:
"Let's be the generation to stand up for the 27 million men, women and children trapped in slavery around the world today. In brothels, In factories, In mines, On street corners, In homes, In the shadows, hidden, Yet out in broad daylight, in plain sight here in America. Stand with us."
By marking your hand with the X the website says it is an outward expression to the world around you that slavery still exist and those marked "wont stand for it."
The types of slavery that the movement highlights are bonded labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. A number of resources and videos are provided on the site to help educate supporters.
With more than reportedly 27 million people in the bonds of slavery throughout 161 countries, Enditmovement is asking people to strike back and "Raise your voice. Use your influence. Join the fight for FREEDOM."
