What is Walk for Freedom?
Walk for Freedom is our global fundraising and awareness event, rallying tens of thousands of people, taking millions of steps, in hundreds of cities all over the world. We walk to disrupt the existence of slavery, shaking its very foundation with each step.
It's an outward expression of A21's inward desire to see slavery abolished everywhere--in our cities, in our communities, and in our world. One step at a time and one dollar at a time, we fundraise and walk to see a world without slavery.
Last year, we showed up in 475 locations in 50 countries, reaching 70 million people through social media. Each step mattered. Each step made a difference.
But there are millions who have yet to be freed--and this year we continue to walk, to show up, to raise awareness, to fight--for the victims in our cities and around the globe still trapped in slavery. This year we will take more ground than ever before. For more information, or to register now, visit our walk host website: walkhost.

Host Responsibilities
You are the reason others can rally around the cause. The catalyst for people in your community to join the story of freedom. Here's some important information to help you do that as smoothly, orderly, and effectively as possible.
All walks will officially take place on October 19, 2019. All hosts must be 18 years old or older to be considered, and there must be a co-host for each event. While hosts are responsible for any walk expenses, there are many ways to fundraise and raise money for each event.
What hosts are required to organize and prepare: ? A public email contact ? A walk location ? Day-of logistics ? Promotion of the Walk for Freedom event to the public
and local media ? Fundraising on behalf of A21 ? Partnership with local churches, businesses, and other
organizations ? A team of volunteers that will assist with preparations
and the day of the walk ? Expenses ? Communication outlets
Reporting to A21 is also necessary as the event grows closer and closer. This includes sending us: ? An evaluation form ? A day-of report ? A final evaluation form

What to Consider as a Host
ASK YOURSELF
1. Do I have enough people to support and engage in a walk? 2. Is there another walk close to me? 3. Do I have a venue or area that is willing to host the walk? 4. Are there any local businesses or religious organizations
that will partner with me?
POSSIBLE EXPENSES
We completely understand that any event, local or global, will have expenses tied into it, but we do try to keep costs to a minimum so that more can be donated to the cause. That being said, there are a few expenses that hosts will have to take into consideration:
? Permit ? T-Shirts ? Printing costs ? Promotional materials ? Insurance ? Equipment rentals (tables, PA systems, etc.)
