The Current

As part of the launch of The Freedom Commons, Justice Campaigns will be featuring a state advocate leader monthly. We have asked them to share their stories about what makes them passionate about the anti-slavery work and how they became an advocate for justice.

Sara Meadows Tolleson - IJM Justice Campaigns State Leader - Louisiana

“It is an absolutely sacred act that we do when we advocate for people who we will never meet but who have been completely stripped of their dignity, their humanity and clearly their freedom.”

Sara Meadows Tolleson is a resident of New Orleans and has been volunteering with IJM as an advocate since 2010. She works for a nonprofit affordable housing developer and is active with her neighborhood association.
