An Update on Our Letter to the President!

By Holly Burkhalter - Sun, 02/26/2012

Annick Febrey, IJM's Legislative Affairs Manager, and I had the honor of meeting with Samantha Power, Special Assistant to President Obama on Human Rights and Multilateral Affairs and her deputy, Rob Berschinski, on Wednesday, February 22. We proudly presented a letter with more than 29,000 signatures, asking the President to take the lead in ending modern-day slavery at home and abroad.

Thank you for sending a strong message!

We’ve hit our goal of 27,000 signatures – but YOUR name can still stand for freedom. Let’s make an unforgettable statement by blowing this goal out of the water! We’ll continue adding voices calling for an end to slavery all the way up to our meeting with the Obama Administration.

News From Washington - February

By Holly Burkhalter - Tue, 02/07/2012

We had the most awesome experience here at IJM headquarters last week. On the morning before President Obama delivered his State of the Union address, IJM sent out an email to our friends and supporters around the U.S., inviting them to sign a letter to President Obama, urging him to exert real leadership to end modern day slavery at home and abroad.

Within a few hours (before the President had even given his address that evening!), several thousand people had signed the letter. At the time of this writing, we have over 24,000 names and more come in every hour.
