15 people. 1800 miles. 5 Weeks for Freedom.

IJM’s Stop Injustice: 5 Weeks for Freedom campaign has hit the road! After kicking off the tour in Mobile, AL, this weekend, the 15 members of the 5 Weeks for Freedom team began their 1800-mile cycle on the historic route of the Underground Railroad Monday morning.

Even though their first day (a 75-mile ride!) started with rainy weather and hilly terrain, the team is more exited for the road ahead than ever — 5 weeks and 1800 miles of sharing about the reality of modern-day slavery and empowering people to act on behalf of victims of violent oppression.

Take the journey with us! You can:

» Follow the tour on our live tracking page and keep up with the riders through our daily instant access updates.

» Meet us when we come to your city! Find out where we’re headed next.

» Help us reach our fundraising goal of $1 million! We’re asking 100,000 people to text FREEDOM to 20222* to give $10 to IJM’s work. Will you help us spread the word? Other great giving options are available here.

* A $10 donation will be added to your mobile bill. Messaging & Data Rates May Apply. Get details here »

may the journey you are on serve God’s purpose, may many people respond righteously on behalf of the oppressed in our own country.  God protect you behind and before on this mission, and give you courage, strength and stamina to fight the good fight, remembering the enemy cannot rise above the position of defeat.  Cannot.  Amen.
