Tithe for Trafficking in 2009
Tithe for Trafficking in 2009
The Issue
First of all, what the heck is a tithe? Tithe is an Old English word meaning "tenth", and "to tithe" is part of a biblical tradition of giving one tenth of your earning in a year to the church. For those who don't belong to a church, don't tithe to one, or feel like they can tithe a little more, consider giving one tenth of your salary each month to an abolitionist organization in 2009. Can't afford a tenth of your salary? How about $10 a month? Your gift will really add up to help restore victims of human trafficking and prevent people from being trafficked. If you need some ideas of nonprofits to tithe to, see the recommended nonprofits section of this site.
Amanda KloerPetition StarterAmanda is a self-professed geek and full-time abolitionist of seven years, which pays about as well as you think it does. She has created reports, documentaries and training materials on human trafficking in the United States and around the world. In 2009, she was awarded the "Best Blogger Ever" award by her mother, who pronounced her work "just wonderful, dear" and presented her with a ceremonial forehead kiss. In addition to creating change via the interwebs, Amanda works on human rights, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, genocide, and LGBT projects for a trade association.
