| Introduction: The modern anti-slavery movement is both ripe for and in dire need of meaningful collaboration among leading actors. Recognizing the opportunity to facilitate this collaboration, Humanity United (HU) commits to support and manage a diverse coalition of U.S.-based anti-slavery organizations. The coalition, known as the Alliance to End Slavery and Trafficking, will advance the modern abolitionist movement through better cohesion, collaboration, and complimentarity, and, in the process, create the most comprehensive and effective coalition working to end the phenomenon of slavery in all its forms. HU will hire a full-time coalition director, provide direct and indirect financial support, and allocate additional HU staff to support research, communications, outreach, and lobbying work on behalf of the coalition as a whole. |
