Chains Breaking Chains: Bikers against Human Trafficking<\/a> from Carlos Solis<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

The 2EndSlavery.org initiative is the new generation of Chains Breaking Chains. \u00a0The idea is simple, and builds off two well known activities: i) The March of Dimes, and ii) Free2Play<\/a> initiative from the NotForSale campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Riding 2EndSlavery is a fund raising activity focusing on raising awareness about modern day Slavery and Human Trafficking, and funds to support organizations that work on prevention, rescue and restoration, nationally and around the world.<\/p>\n

Today, there are more than 27 million people<\/span><\/strong> who are held against their will, and trafficked, as slaves, around the world. \u00a0The fruits of slave labor reach every individual in our society. \u00a0Slaves are used in the production of coffee, chocolate, tires, shoes, cotton, cell phones, and clothes, to name just a few. \u00a0The list goes on and on. \u00a0Additionally, girls are trafficked to every corner of the world, kidnapped, or sold by families, to work as slaves in the sex industry. \u00a0If you live in Houston, you live in one of the largest human trafficking centers in the U.S.<\/p>\n

There are a number of organizations that are working to\u00a0eradicate slavery, and to educate those that, like me, need to better understand where the needs are, what those needs are, and how to contribute and fund the rescue process through our God given passions.\u00a0 These organizations also work to address the needs of the rescued, work on prevention, and with legislators to eradicate these inhumane practices.<\/p>\n

Riding 2EndSlavery\u00a0is a call for people to engage in their riding with a purpose that reaches far beyond the satisfactions and pleasures that we normally cite when people ask us “Why We Ride”. \u00a0The principle is simple, recruit people to commit a donation for every mile you ride. \u00a0In my case, I am seeking donors to commit donations to organizations that work in the various areas of prevention, rescue and restoration for victims of modern day slavery\u00a0as I ride from Houston to Alaska and back to \u00a0Houston. \u00a0I will fund the ride myself, so every penny and dollar raised will go to Not For Profit Organizations that are active in this area. <\/strong>[ PLEDGE FORM <\/a>]<\/p>\n

In\u00a0essence, \u00a0if you are reading this, I am asking you to become a sponsor by committing funds to support organizations that battle modern day slavery at the completion of my ride this year. \u00a0You can make a $27 pledge in support of the 27 million in chains today.\u00a0 You can pledge a\u00a0 certain amount per mile I ride, or pledge a flat rate upon the completion of the ride. \u00a0All money will go directly to to these organizations,<\/strong> with donations processed through their site<\/strong>. No money goes through the 2EndSlavery.org system.<\/p>\n

In this process I also will covet your prayers, during the preparation, during the ride, and for my new found call in life<\/p>\n

For me, this is a way to try to give meaning to my life, and not remain passive, knowing that a large segment of humanity is being ignored in their oppression.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your consideration and prayers. \u00a0-Carlos<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
