Engage. Equip. Empower.

In 2012, Not For Sale seeks to engage communities around the United States and the world, equipping individuals with innovative and practical solutions, and empowering them to work against the prevalence of modern-day slavery in their own backyards.  As the abolitionist space gains momentum, Not For Sale moves further and further “upstream”, looking at the root causes of exploitation by implementing innovative models of economic and social justice.  To this end, the grassroots has an increasingly vital role to play.  The Academy World Tour was created to scale and strengthen a global response to this crime against humanity.  Together we can help ensure that every man, woman and child is given a chance for freedom and dignity.  Your community can become leaders in the modern-day abolitionist movement!

The  Academy World Tour (AWT) can range from a 1 to 2 day event, and is completely shaped around the needs and desires of the host community.  Each AWT stop is therefore entirely unique!  Below are the differing modules that can be incorporated into your event.

The Academy Workshops

These focused workshops address three simple questions: Why, How and What.  Each session is focused on a particular aspect of the abolitionist space, intending to engage different sectors within your community.
