Global Prayer Day to End Modern Slavery Now!
Join us on Black Friday for a Global Prayer and Talks from Expert Speakers to End Modern Slavery Now!
In 2024, $24.1 Billion was spent by consumers shopping online on Black Friday and Cyber Monday alone. On a day that has historically encouraged a massive increase in the purchasing of goods tied to forced labor, we invite you to reframe Black Friday from a day of unconscious consumption to a day of conscious connection.
Empowerment Collective, a 100% survivor-led organization dedicated to ending modern slavery—in collaboration with survivor leaders, spiritual leaders, and professional leaders from around the world—invites people of all faith backgrounds to gather for a day of prayer and education surrounding the pervasive issue of slavery in our supply chains.
By holding this space together, we hope to honor the lives and liberties stolen from generations of enslaved people, including over 50 million people in modern slavery today, and collectively envision a future defined by justice, healing, and freedom for all.

Chained Reactions: How Modern Slavery and the Climate Crisis Intertwine
Join us on the final day of NYC Climate Week 2025 for an educational discussion exploring one of the most critical and least talked about environmental justice issues: the cyclical ties between modern slavery and the climate crisis. This conversation will also interweave themes of gender inequity, migration and documentation issues, cultural preservation, societal consumption habits/mindsets, and more.
Hosted by Empowerment Collective, a 100% survivor-led organization dedicated to ending modern slavery, the event will feature survivors and allies sharing stories, facts, and steps we can take to reach a future free from exploitation of both humans and our natural environment.
