For the last 3 years, the Cleveland Hope Exchange has hosted the Walk for Freedom in Cleveland. With over 1,000 people gathering together to walk as a response to human trafficking made the message clear: there is hope. While we can’t physically walk together this year due to the pandemic, we will still gather our voices in a powerful way through one of the largest growing ways to raise awareness, digitally.

This month we are devoted to participating in awareness and education around the realities of human trafficking. We believe that your voice matters and that you can make a difference. Follow along this month for countless opportunities to be a part of our movement of HOPE in the city of Cleveland.
