Google Joins The Fight Against Slavery



We are thrilled to announce that Google is providing a multi-year grant to Slavery Footprint, Polaris Project, and International Justice Mission that will be used to create a unified Initiative working to abolish modern-day slavery.

This first-of-its-kind alliance will work together to establish and implement aggressive, results-oriented programs to combat slavery both domestically and abroad.

We are honored that one of the world's most influential companies recognizes the value of Slavery Footprint's work and that they share our vision that technology can and will be uniquely effective in creating a tipping point for the movement.

"In just three short months, we have been enormously successful in increasing consumer engagement by demonstrating the link between their everyday lives and the lives of the estimated 27 million slaves in the world today", says Justin Dillon, Founder and CEO of Slavery Footprint. "We look forward to working with our partners to take our combined efforts to the next level."
