We train the people who fight modern slavery.

Justice School 5.24 was founded by 27 Million International to equip changemakers on the front lines, with formation that comes from the field and not from a textbook.

Why 27 Million

27million

Slavery is not a thing of the past.

It is a modern phenomenon happening right now. All around us, our fellow human beings are being exploited, and through that exploitation their dignity and their basic right to live freely are stripped away.

We stand alongside grassroots organizations around the world who are on the front lines of the battle to end slavery. We offer them support and training, and we create projects and opportunities so that everyone can take a stand in solidarity with modern-day slaves.

Together, we hope to see freedom for all in our lifetime.

Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.

Amos 5:24 · Why 5.24

The name is the assignment. Not a trickle of charity, but justice moving with the force of a river, until it reaches the people the world has forgotten.

How the school started

When Benny and Janice Yu started fighting human trafficking, they wanted a school like this one. It did not exist yet, so years later they built it.

2018
The first class, in Brazil
A three-week face to face course, the first iteration of the school, born from the need to equip people already working on the front lines.
2019
The second class, in Mexico
The school moved to Mexico City, closer to the anti-trafficking work that shaped it.
2020
The school goes online
After the pandemic hit, the first online iteration ran over four weeks in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
Today
Residential and online
Three weeks was never enough to learn justice work in all its facets. We extended the programs to fit how people actually learn, and now run both a residential school in Mexico City and an online school.
