Arise was established in 2015 to prevent slavery and human trafficking in some of the worst affected areas in the world.
We believe that local groups and their networks are a hugely powerful, but marginalized and underdeveloped, resource in the fight against slavery.
We provide support to frontline groups and their networks, through strategic grant giving, direct partnership, training and capacity building. We work with them, leading thought leaders and universities to conduct research into the effectiveness of their models. We amplify their voices within the human rights and policy communities and advocate for change.

Arise's vision is a world without slavery in which the human dignity of every person is respected.
IJPC, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting injustices like human trafficking, has released a series of toolkits to help the media and public discuss modern-day enslavement in an informed and compassionate way.
In 2016, Dr. Earl Lewis convened a meeting on slavery among 40 principle collaborators—scholars, organizations, and instiutions—at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Out of this meeting came the "Slavery and Its Aftermath" initiative at the Center for Social Solutions. This project aims to tackle America’s original sin—slavery.
