SlaveFree Madison

Hey Madison! As many of you know, Mercies is also a platform for fighting human trafficking in Wisconsin.🙌🏻
This means that January is the perfect month for us to celebrate our grand opening because it is also Human Trafficking Awareness Month!💜
This wall in the shop is dedicated to highlighting different organizations that are fighting trafficking in different ways. Our plan is to continually update and add to this wall until it’s so full we have to start another wall!
Currently we have info available for , , Every Daughter, and Damascus Road Project. Check them out and join the fight!🥊
