My name is Jacob Patton, and I am Director of Outreach and Technology for the non-profit organization Free the Slaves. Free the Slaves is the sister organization of the UK-based Anti-Slavery International, the oldest human rights organization in the world. Since its creation in 2000, Free the Slaves has labored to identify and eliminate modern slavery wherever it exists, and we believe that we can end slavery in our lifetimes.
Thank you, Mr. Fullerton, for inviting me and the rest of my Free the Slaves coworkers to contribute to your class's blog. The posts and comments up so far are fascinating, and I am excited to take part in your discussions. If you have any questions for me or for anyone else here at Free the Slaves, please just post them in the comments!
Over the next few days, I'll try to respond to your questions, and I'll also write some posts about the projects we're currently working on. In the mean-time, though, have a look at some recent activity from our Washington, D.C. headquarters. Last week our whole office was mobilized in a big year-end fundraising push, and we were all busy stuffing envelopes and calling our supporters. FYI, I'm the guy in the black pullover. (I had no idea I was so bald!)
Thanks again, Jacob Patton
