Adam & Katie's Move for Amirah! (50 for Freedom!)

"Katie and I joined the Movement to end human trafficking and support survivors!"

June 17th - June 21st, 2023

Our Move: 

We are bicycling 50 miles in 3 days. We have chosen this move because it represents the hard work that victims of sex trafficking must overcome, day after day, to reach their renewed life of recovery.  Our goal is to raise much needed awareness and funds to support  Amirah as an organization, as well as let the women of Amirah know that we care about them. Show them you care about them as well, by donating generously to this worthy cause.  Your donation helps these women build a better life.  We think they deserve it, don't you?

Thank you for donating to our Move and supporting survivors of sex trafficking! Donate above!!

How does our Move for Amirah end human trafficking?

Human trafficking is an enormous issue that cannot be faced alone. When many people step up and make a move to support survivors, we find strength in numbers.

Did you know that less than 1% of trafficking victims ever escape?

The primary reason is a severe lack of “exit ramps” – opportunities for the exploited to get away from their traffickers. Amirah is that exit ramp! When you support Amirah, you support a woman’s recovery process to regain her life. Soon, that 1% will be a tragic figure from a distant past."

How does moving for Amirah help end human trafficking and sexual exploitation?

These are enormous issues that cannot be faced alone - but when many people step up and make a move to support survivors, we find strength in numbers!

Did you know that less than 1% of trafficking victims ever escape?

The primary reason is a severe lack of “exit ramps” – opportunities for the exploited to get away from traffickers and break cycles of exploitation. Amirah is that exit ramp! When you support Amirah, you support a woman’s recovery process to regain her life. Soon, that 1% will be a tragic figure from a distant past.

So, let’s get moving!

Here are the basics:

1) Pick Your Move: Bike, swim, walk, run, hike, or something else! Decide: Will I move solo or with a group? Pick your move, grab your gear, and join the movement!

2) Set Your Goal: Recovering from exploitation is like climbing a mountain, running a marathon, or swimming the English Channel. Basically, it is HARD and it looks different for everyone. We encourage you to pick a goal that is hard for you – 5 miles, 20 miles, or maybe 100 miles? Set a goal to complete over the Move for Amirah week, June 16-25. Pick something challenging – but make sure it's something you can handle! 

3) Set Up Your Page: You can set up your own fundraising page right here on Amirah's Mighty Cause webpage, complete with photos of you, your story, and a bit about why you chose to join the movement! Scroll back up for your own move above!

When you sign up you'll receive a Move Box with items like a branded Move for Amirah hat, athletic bib, and some goodies from us!

4) Get the Word Out: Every Mover is committed to raising at least $100 for the survivors who have escaped and are in recovery at Amirah - but you can totally go for more! For a $100 goal, you only need two friends to give $50, 4 friends to give $25, ten friends to give $10, or any combination in between.

Some basic instructions:  If you hope five people will donate, write out a list of 20 people you know who will be excited that you're Moving for Amirah and invite them to invest in your Move!

5) Get Moving: Get out there the week of June 16-25, 2023 and strive for your goals!

We are so excited to see what you do, Mover!
