There are many ways you can join us as we fight the injustice of human trafficking. When we join together, linking arms and pooling our resources, we greatly multiply our efforts. This battle is not meant for one person to fight alone; but as many individuals around the world coming together as ONE voice standing for justice. TOGETHER, we WILL see lives made beautiful.

Below are a few simple ideas on how you can raise your hand along with us and become more than just a spectator, but “someone” willing to do “something” to help abolish injustice today and in the years to come.

PLEDGE

The most tangible and effective way that you can help the Beautiful Dream Society is to resolve to give something and by getting as many people as you can to pledge to our $4 The Least of These Campaign.  We need people like you who can give up one luxury item a week such as a coffee, a movie rental, or a fast food meal to make a $4 weekly (billed as $16 monthly) pledge to helping the victims of human trafficking. You might think that $4 dollars a week is an insignificant amount to help such a large problem, but think of it this way: if only 150 people committed to giving $4 per week, then in one year we will have raised almost $30,000 to meet the needs of our victims in Lesotho and help them find justice and restoration.  Please urge all of your friends to consider pledging by visiting www.BeautifulDream.tv/Give

SPREAD THE WORD

Memorize some of the statistics about human trafficking and tell your friends. You can also download posters from www.callandresponse.com or ask us for brochures you can pass out to people at your work, school or church.

USE YOUR TALENT

Write a blog about why we should fight human trafficking; paint a picture and display it publicly; use a sports event to raise awareness and funds; write a song or talk about human trafficking at a concert; create a short film and post it on www.youtube.com or www.vimeo.com. Use what you do best to make a difference!

INVEST IN FREEDOM

One way you can join The Beautiful Dream Society is through financial support. Your donation will be used to fight human trafficking through legal fees, as well as costs related to health care and housing for rescued victims. If you would like to join The Beautiful Dream Society by making a financial contribution or becoming a regular monthly partner, please CLICK HERE.

LOBBY POLITICIANS

Often times adjusting laws and policies surrounding the issue of human trafficking can help make it easier to identify and convict traffickers in a court of law. For more information on how to inform your elected officials, check out www.polarisproject.org.

ORGANIZE A FUNDRAISER

Start a Beautiful Dream Society abolition group and organize your own fundraiser!  Get creative and make a difference!  To get involved in one of Beautiful Dream's fundraisers in the Oklahoma City area, including the Traffic Jam Fashion Show, the Run for the Dream 5k or the Tee Up for Trafficking Golf Tournament, contact our fundraising project coordinator.

FAST ONE DAY A MONTH

Every month, on a day of your choice, fast for the work that The Beautiful Dream Society is doing in Lesotho, Africa. Fasting is a personal reminder throughout the day of your commitment to see breakthrough injustice. Together, we can stand in agreement to see the injustice of human trafficking abolished and set aside this day to focus on making a difference.

VOLUNTEER

You can also join The Beautiful Dream Society by becoming a volunteer. Some of the areas that you can get involved are: short-term and long-term missions, legal counsel, public relations, marketing, writing, donor development, research, graphic design, photography, video & production.
