Simon Deng of AASG Interviewed on Fox News with Heidi McGuinnes of CSI on their recent trip to Sudan.

Two months ago, we asked our supporters to help fund an aid mission to Sudan. Thanks to generous responses, we were able to contribute nearly $10,000 and, in turn, liberate 250 slaves.

Help us mark the bicentennial of the abolition of the slave trade by signing our petition to urge Congress to take meaningful action against slavery in Sudan.

Through our four areas of focus, we provide a platform for former victims to speak out against their oppressors and empower them to take action to end slavery around the world:

Awareness	Advocacy	Activism	Aid

Awareness - The first step in ending modern slavery is teaching the public that it still exists. At AASG, we build awareness through our Speakers Bureau - comprised of slavery survivors - as well as our website, educational curricula and conferences.	Advocacy - We advocate for the freedom of slaves through government lobbying and online campaigns, which locate effective pressure points in corporations that benefit from slavery, governments which tolerate slavery, and leaders who remain silent. Sign on to our latest campaign to urge Congress to take meaningful action against slavery in Sudan.	Activism - Through our website, we have established a diverse network of over 30,000 activists who are passionate about freedom. Our grassroots activism takes the form of rallies, candlelight vigils, freedom marches, petitions and letter-writing campaigns. Join the movement to learn how you can help!	Aid - We partner with organizations working on the ground to provide essential support to victims of slavery. By providing food, shelter, education and rehabilitation, AASG equips survivors with the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
