Fighting Human Trafficking: Our Jewish Calling

Advertisement

The fight against human trafficking is rooted in the Jewish experience, says Robert Beiser. From the Exodus out of Egypt, through the destruction of the temple and up until the Holocaust: it is our calling and responsibility to not look away and to take action against modern day slavery.

Robert Beiser is the Executive Director of Seattle Against Slavery (SAS). After several years at Microsoft, he left the tech world to work in the nonprofit sector as a social justice advocate. His role with SAS began in 2010 as the volunteer Public Awareness Campaigns Manager. Robert holds a Master's Degree in Public Affairs from UW and travels the country speaking on technology and human trafficking.
