Storyville Coffee Donating 100% of May Revenue to Fight Human Trafficking

Despite the current economic climate, Storyville Coffee Company has generously agreed to donate 100% of their May revenue, up to $1 Million dollars to International Justice Mission(IMJ) to fight human trafficking. IMJ is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials to ensure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to promote functioning public justice systems.
Storyville Coffee is based on the idea that coffee is a ritual that gives us time to think, create and dream – about what do we want to do with our lives to change the world. In dreaming, we remember those who cannot. Your support can enable victims of modern-day slavery to dream again and to begin new lives through the work of IJM.
“Despite all financial indicators and business advice to the contrary, we’ve decided that this is not at time for our business to sit on the sidelines,” explains Storyville co-president Ryan Gamble. “Whatever we can do to fight modern-day slavery, we’ll do it.”
- 2 million children are exploited in commericial sex trade each year.
- Human Trafficking is a $32 billion industry.
- 27 million people are in slavery today, which is more than if you combine all four hundred years of the trans-atlantic slave trade.
Consider a gift of these gourmet coffee beans for Mother’s Day or graduations this month – the cost will go directly to supporting IJM’s critical work. Buy Storyville Coffee NOW!
