Not For Sale Campaign
National Website: http://www.notforsalecampaign.org
Not everyone thinks of slavery
as a big issue anymore. Maybe back in 1859,
when Adrian College was founded as an abolitionist
college. But now?
Try telling that to the
27 million people currently living in slavery
throughout the world.
In keeping with Adrian College’s
abolitionist tradition, the Chaplain's Office
at Adrian College has stepped forward to organize
on-campus awareness of human trafficking.
The Chaplain's Office plans on hosting several
events throughout the school year for students,
faculty, staff and the Adrian community to
get involved with the Not For Sale campaign.
 In
2009, the “Not for Sale” organization
held its first ever international "Abolitionist
Academy" at Adrian College. Members of
the Abolitionist Academy invited the public
to join them in the fight against human trafficking
and slavery. This three-day event provided
education, training and networking opportunities
needed to successfully lead an anti-human
trafficking movement in all areas. To learn
